Vital card: beware of this trapped site which imitates Ameli and siphon your accounts

Digital fraud is a little health on the back of the insured persons at the start of April 2025. In sight: the vital card, allegedly to renew. Behind this banal pretext, a skillfully concealed scam.

Vitale à la carte scam: another ameli ghost site to bait the victims

Hames techniques are evolving, and some become outright surgical. Latest example: an almost perfect copy of the official health insurance site, alerted by TF1 Info.

Objective: to make the user believe that he must renew his vital card, via a fraudulent link sent by SMS or by e-mail. The false site, which faithfully imitates Ameli.fr, adopts the same logo, the same colors, the same interface … except that it hides behind an address in “.com”. A minimal, but fatal difference.

Once the link is clicked, the illusion is perfect. The user is invited to enter their personal, then banking information, in the name of so -called one euro shipping costs. A lure. Behind this harmless operation, the crooks use the data to make real fraudulent samples.

A vital card is not renewed, or almost never

This is precisely where the rub: the vital card has, in reality, no need to be renewed regularly. Health insurance repeats this: only a flight, loss or change of situation justify a new card … and the procedures are completely free.

This precision, however essential, often remains drowned in the panic caused by threatening messages: suspension of rights, urgent deadlines, or even false deadline. Elements that encourage immediate action … and fall.

Because the phenomenon is not isolated. According to the platform cybermalvence.gouv.fr,, phishing -or bans-went upwards in 2024, with a marked resurgence of campaigns by e-mail by IA. The theme of the renewal of the vital card is among the most used, because it speaks to everyone. Who, in France, does not have a vital card in their portfolio?
