MesAmendes.com, SOSRadar: Two well-established scams determined to steal you!
Wherever you are in France, there is a good chance that you will one day come across a wild poster or a banner hanging from a motorway bridge extolling the merits of the MesAmendes.com or SOSRadar sites.
Safe !?
And just as you were flashed a few days or weeks earlier, and the bill is salty, here you are wandering on one of these sites to glean some information and why not a little hope. And there, O surprise, you discover that the world, after all, is a great place: not only will you be able to “keep your points and your money”but in addition it works in “100% of files” !
All you have to do is pay €51 including tax (it’s always less, or even much less than your fine), and presto! You are freed, you can “continue to drive with a clear conscience thanks to mesamendes.com, the service that is revolutionizing the defense of your driving license. »
You speak, Charles!
Except that… As one article from Auto Plus magazine: “By way of ‘protest’, [MesAmendes.com] reports a third party on your behalf. » And the article castigate a “pseudo-service”, a “scam”, a “phony” site, before concluding with a pithy “Trash! »
The website EasyRadcreated by the lawyer Sébastien Dufour and model in spite of himself of these fraudulent services explains more precisely the functioning of this trick in a Caution on the subject : “When a motorist makes a dispute via this site, the latter designates another person (without his satisfaction) as being the driver of the vehicle. This thus gives the illusion that the challenge has succeeded since for several months, the client of SOS RADAR no longer hears about the offence. All of this only lasts for a while since, faced with the scale of the scam and given the fact that the PARIS Public Prosecutor’s Office has identified the deception, several hundred drivers are now summoned to court with increased fines.”

It should be noted in passing that MesAmendes.com is the new name of the SOSRadar site, so much so that the (anonymous) creator of the two sites even forgot to change the names by copying/pasting his own site:
Or as it sums it up Auto More : “SOS Radar has declined its pseudo-service under another identity: Mesamendes.fr. Same methods (tons of posters posted at red lights), same promise of success “in 100% of cases”, same price (€51), same pans…”
