Emergency

Cybercrime victims – Individuals path

Trapped by a scam
or fake IT support?

We help individuals secure their devices and accounts, understand what happened, limit financial losses and prepare the next steps with the bank and platforms.

If you are currently in contact with a supposed “advisor” or “technician”, or remote control is active: go to the emergency path first.

For an ongoing situation, use the Cyber emergency page.

Typical situations

Fake IT support / remote control

A fake “Microsoft/ISP support” took control of your computer.

Online banking fraud / impersonation

A fake advisor pushed you to validate operations or share codes.

Hacked email / social accounts

Email, Facebook or other accounts compromised or locked.

When to contact us.

We step in when you need more than generic hotline advice and you need to secure and document the situation.

Fake IT support scam

Remote-control tools (AnyDesk/TeamViewer), suspicious warnings, pressure to transfer money or buy gift cards.

Bank fraud & impersonation

You validated unusual operations, installed an app, or shared one-time codes: we reconstruct steps and support your dispute.

Hacked accounts

Email, Facebook/Instagram, Microsoft, Google accounts compromised, messages sent without you, or access blocked.

Digital identity theft

Accounts created in your name, documents misused, subscriptions you did not initiate: we help analyse traces and next steps.

Serious doubts

You are not sure it is a scam, but something feels wrong: we can analyse contacts and guide you clearly.

First steps if you suspect you are a victim.

These reflexes do not replace personalised support, but often limit damage while we take over.

01. Cut contact

Hang up immediately. Do not call back. Real banks and support do not pressure you into urgent transfers.

02. Stop remote control

Close AnyDesk/TeamViewer and shut down the computer if needed. Do not let the scammer “finish”.

03. Call your bank

Report quickly and ask to block suspicious operations. Keep a trace of the call (time, name, actions).

04. Change critical passwords

Start with your main email, then banking/admin accounts. Enable MFA when possible and avoid password reuse.

Then, use the contact form or the emergency path so we can analyse your case and support you.

How our support works.

Even for an individual, we use an expert-firm method: each step is explained and documented.

Step 01

Initial call

We listen and translate your story into usable technical facts.

Step 02

Secure devices & accounts

We remove risky tools, recover access and harden protections.

Step 03

Reconstruct & document

We reconstruct events (dates, amounts, operations) and prepare a clear report.

Step 04

Support your procedures

We help with bank/platform requests and follow up over time.

Need to speak with an expert (even outside emergencies)?

We operate remotely across France, and on-site mainly in the AURA region and French-speaking Switzerland, for businesses, healthcare organizations, local authorities and regulated professions.
