Online fraud targets Monaco bus users: Princely Government issues warning

The Monaco Government has issued an urgent alert to all users of the Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco (CAM) and the wider Monaco community regarding an ongoing online fraud scheme. 

A fraudulent Facebook page, impersonating the official CAM service, is currently circulating. The scam claims to offer six months of free bus subscriptions, enticing users to click on a link to take advantage of the offer. Authorities warn that this is a phishing attempt designed to steal personal and banking information.

“The Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco wishes to remind the public that their only official channels are their website (www.cam.mc) and the Monapass app,” says the government in a statement. “Any other sources offering deals or services related to public transportation in Monaco should be approached with extreme caution.”

Anyone who may have submitted their banking details through this fraudulent link is urged to contact their bank immediately to block any unauthorised transactions and prevent potential financial loss.
