Question 10544 — banks and financial institutions

Summary

Ms. Blandine Brocard alerts the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the growing number of scams linked to identity theft, rental of accommodation - particularly for students - and the ease of obtaining a bank identity statement with a stolen identity. The tension on the rental market causes rental candidates to be less vigilant about rental conditions. transmission of personal information to supposed property owners publishing fraudulent advertisements on connection platforms. Over a single day and for the city of Lyon alone, the MP was able to identify no less than twenty potentially fraudulent advertisements on these platforms. Before even being able to visit the accommodation, the candidate is asked for a complete file including information such as tax property, copy of identity document, proof of address, tax notice. They are then informed that their application has been accepted and that a guarantee transfer must be made before visiting the property. For this purpose, the scammer sends the candidate a RIB from a French bank, or even a copy of an identity document to reassure the candidate. The documents requested from the candidate are then used by the scammers to open new accounts on online banks, particularly those offered in tobacco shops, in order to organize the following scam. The MP invites the Minister to strengthen banking regulations to in particular prevent any withdrawal from a newly created account without verification of address by post to the address indicated on the documents provided. She wants to know his intentions on this matter.
