A friend and coworker of mine received this letter in his mail written as you can see in Dutch and German. He doesn’t speak neither of those languages, only French. And my Dutch isn’t that good (the main bases) and no German at all. Although the little I understood from it seemed off. No date/time or place where a potential offense has happened, no bank account to wire money to, etc… Another friend of ours gave us a rough translation in French from the iPhone translation I believe which you can read below;
So we figured it was a scam and told him to go to the police to be 100% sure of this. For those who are able to, could you tell if the translation is accurate? And to everyone, do you think this is a scam or real?
Looks real, they don’t ask for money directly.
And isn’t easy to look up if he transferred the money on his bank account.
Site is real to.
I think it can be legit. Propose to just make a phone call.
​
They explain this person actually made a payment (which I can imagine they can only do because they already fined this person and recieved a transaction from this account).
​
But that they didn’t expect any payment from him / her. They say that if this is the case, you will get reimbursed.
The alternative they give is that the person legitimately payed a fine, but it’s not in their sytem yet or they didnt type in the structured message correctly.
​
Honestly, this is very good service – I don’t see the angle of this being a scam.
So first of all, they’re not asking you to pay anything. All they’re saying is that they received money on some bank account for which they don’t know why you deposited it. And to tell you you did not pay a fine using that money because the reference was incorrect.
So if the guy did not deposit anything on that bank account number, ignore the letter.
If he did pay money on this account, check if he put the right reference as required…
By googling all the references from this letter, the IBAN, the phone number, and the URL, you’ll find that all three of these are referenced on police.be. So it seems legit, at least the letter. You should probably call this number for more information.
This is legit.
Go to [https://justonweb.be/fines/contact](https://justonweb.be/fines/contact). It is a legit site. You can call them or chat with them to get more information.
Denk gewoon 2 seconden na of ge een betaling naar heb hebt gedaan voor dat bedrag??? Zoja: dubbel check, zonee: smijt weg die brief.
Seems legit to me but as always go find the phone number on their website. Never rely on a mail your suspicious off for bank account, links or phone number references.
Looks like a scam. Based on just an account number they cannot know the address of the person paying for it. So: did you transfer that money? If not, I would throw the letter away
Just don’t give your bank number to get money back that you haven’t paid! By giving your number you will loose money instead of getting money.
If and only if you have paid a fine in the last month, you can receive the money.
By doubts go with everything to the police station.
I’d suggest calling the number (if there is one) one a trusted government site. Not the one on the letter.
Calling someone possibly scamming you to ask if they are scamming you isn’t the brightest idea 😉
I had this too. Paid 10 cents too much on a speeding ticket and got this letter.
Never tip the police!!
It’s weird because they wrote Federale Öffentlicher Justiz wrong. How I wrote it is the right way.
If you’re asking this question then you, or the person who received this letter, probably never received a fine or payed a fine around that date to the mentioned account number of that amount. I believe this is a answer to your question?

les amendes
