Solved

Hello, I was watching porn and by clicking on an adult video image, I was redirected to a page like this. Is it a prevention page, am I at risk of something? Is it a scam? Please help me..

    Hello,

    As long as there is no "payment" request... this is probably just a warning message from the authorities.... so "without consequences" ....

    When scammers (using data collected from these sites) act, there are quickly requests for money (usually through untraceable coupons) and fake threats like "Interpol action"...

    Of course, the most sensible thing is to avoid such dubious sites in the future..............

      Good evening, thank you very much.. actually, in this message, I was offered to report if the site was not illegal or something like that.. I was a bit scared because it's the first time this has happened to me.. I have never visited this kind of site.. And yes, I will follow your advice! I will even avoid porn sites now... I don't want to see this kind of message anymore..????

    Hello,

    No, this is a spoofed page pretending to be the official website of the Ministry of the Interior, l'intérieur.gouv.fr, which opens by itself in your browser.


    Additionally, in this case, the computer is not infected for your information.


    To realize this, just take a look at the address bar at the top of your browser.

    Here’s an example:

    https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/

      Hello,

      Both cases exist....

      In one category, it is simply real warning messages from official sources (without consequences except to alert....) ... And, just don’t go back to the concerned website(s)...

      In another category, it is indeed an attempt to scam and the "warning message" is then followed by a demand for payment of a fine (through untraceable vouchers and fanciful threats...)
      In these cases... do not respond to the solicitations...

      Hello,

      The fact that it is correctly written in French does not prove that it is not false, and until proven otherwise, nothing allows us to know on this topic at the moment if the official address indeed ends with "dot gouv.fr" in the address bar at the top of the requester's browser when this page appeared.
