A quick heads-up from The Connexion newspaper in France. A new scam is emerging about needing to renew them. Translation given as follows.
“Scammers are sending emails and text messages telling people they need to renew their vehicle’s Crit’Air (air pollution) sticker in an attempt to trick them out of money or to hand over personal information.
The new scam rides on the raft of changes that the new year brings, with scammers knowing it may seem plausible to many people that Crit’Air stickers might need updating for 2024.
However, this is not correct. Crit’Air stickers, which are needed by French and foreign-plated vehicles in several areas of France, do not need to be updated - they are valid for the lifetime of a vehicle.”
Happy New Year everyone!
