Unknown suspicious MMS

Hello,

Do not reply to a text message if you do not know the person or the website, because usually those who send you a text message do so as it is normally agreed upon between you and your acquaintances.

So think Scams when you haven't asked for anything.

Have a nice day.

Hello.

At one time, this procedure was often done without risk,

I have used it myself, of course after verification, and I have never experienced overcharging or hacking.

It is SFR that keeps this usage principle alive, it's just that the principle is old.

And it is actually a legitimate site despite what one might think.

You just need to go to the site (which you will type yourself), and the code is just used to unlock access to this mms.

Hi there,

MMS messages can contain viruses

SMS messages are secure because they rely solely on text and cannot be used to transmit malicious content via attachments.

MMS, on the other hand, exposes you to a new type of risk due to their ability to transmit different types of files.

And there’s a whole text on the subject of various scams:

Scams have been multiplying lately. Fake messages from your loved ones, convincing deepfake videos, or fake package scams... In 2025, new forms of fraud are emerging. In this article, we help you identify and protect yourself from them.

Artificial intelligence at the service of scammers

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an impressive technology that can facilitate your daily life by performing many tasks. However, it is also exploited by malicious individuals.

One of the most widespread scams is the deepfake, also known as hyper-manipulation in French. This is a technique that uses AI to modify images or videos. Specifically, it can mimic a person's face and voice to make them say or do things they have never actually said or done. This method is often used to spread false information.

Deepfakes are notably used on dating sites, where scammers impersonate celebrities or well-known figures to deceive their victims, who are generally seniors.

So be vigilant when interacting online, whether on social media or other platforms: behind a screen, not everyone has good intentions.

Beware of fake calls from your bank!

A new scam is trending among scammers: fake calls from your bank advisor. These fraudsters call you claiming they need to block or cancel a suspicious operation on your account, like a transfer or a credit card payment. This is a scam!

In reality, these scammers are trying to get you to approve a fraudulent operation, not to block it. The difficulty is that they have technology that enables them to call you while displaying your bank's actual phone number. Sometimes, during the conversation, they mention personal information, and you end up believing they really have your file in front of them.

Remember that a real bank advisor will never ask you to carry out an important operation over the phone. Never share your personal or banking information and do not approve any operation requested this way. Hang up immediately and contact your bank right away using the official number found on your statements or bank card.

Scam: beware of fraud when shopping online

With the rise of online shopping, internet fraud is multiplying, especially with fake sales sites. These scams aim to steal your banking information by encouraging you to make payments on fraudulent platforms.

To avoid these traps, take the time to verify the site you are on. If its appearance seems strange to you or if the address (URL) is unfamiliar, it is better not to take any risks. Leave the page immediately and do not make any purchases to protect your personal and banking data.

Sometimes, the page eerily resembles your bank's interface or an official site. Here are some strange things that should raise your suspicions:

• The URL does not include an "s" after http (the "s" means the browsing is secure)
• The page contains spelling mistakes
• The URL does not match the official site URL (sometimes the differences are very subtle: one letter more or less...)

Beware of fake messages from your loved ones!

A new scam increasingly targets seniors: fake personal messages. Cybercriminals impersonate a family member using sophisticated techniques, such as artificial intelligence, to create fake profiles and very convincing photo montages.

Be especially cautious of unexpected messages. For example: "Hi mom, it's your daughter, I've changed my number, contact me on WhatsApp by clicking here."

Never respond to this type of message! These scammers often seek to extract money from you or obtain your personal information. If in doubt, contact your relative directly using their old number or seek advice from a family member before responding to a suspicious message.

The fake package scam

This scam relies on sending a fake message claiming that a package could not be delivered. The goal of the scammers is to entice you to click on a link. To extract your banking information so that they can steal it.

Here is an example of a fake message: "Your package could not be delivered. Please click this link to reschedule the delivery."

To avoid this trap, be wary of messages related to packages you are not expecting. Always verify the sender before acting, and never click on a link without being sure of its reliability. In case of doubt, contact the relevant delivery service directly.

How to protect yourself from these scams in 2025?

Here are some of our tips to avoid online scams:

Use secure passwords

Choose complex and different passwords for each site and write them down in a notebook so you don't forget them. Having a unique password for each website prevents hackers from accessing all your accounts in case your information is stolen.

Be cautious with suspicious messages

Never click on a link received via SMS or email. If you have the slightest doubt about its origin, seek advice from your loved ones.

Keep your devices updated

Regularly update your digital devices: phones, tablets, or computers to protect yourself from new threats. A device that is not updated is more likely to be easily attacked by cybercriminals.

In case of fraud, you are not alone!

If you are a victim of an online scam, you can get free help on the official site 17cyber.gouv.fr that will guide you through the procedure to follow.

To keep it simple:

The link in question in the email is this one and poses no risk to the computer:

https://www.vosmms.com/

It is an old system, as old as the operator in question, that allows you to read MMS on a web platform, because at one time, not all phones could read MMS.

To do this, you had to enter the address I just provided on a web page, input the destination number (yours), and the code given in the MMS.

This allowed you to view the content of the MMS via a web page.

Under no circumstances am I encouraging anyone to click on the link provided in the MMS.

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH

messages like: "your package does not fit in the mailbox, click here to reschedule a delivery", or: "your credit card has expired, please update your information by clicking here", and there are many others that are indeed traps.

Thank you for that nice copy/paste in response 14, which is only 1% relevant to the initial request, and which, in its content, only partially addresses the principle of hacking or scams via SMS/MMS.

The principle mentioned in the initial request and the SFR site in question are old, that's all.

EDIT: the link I posted in this post (identical to the one proposed in your message) is safe; otherwise, CCM would have blacklisted it...
