“From today, all calls made by 18/112 operators will be identified: 0 800 112 112. The same for calls from Samu or Gendarmerie. So if you get a call from this number, pick up without fear! », indicated this Tuesday the Fire Service and Rescue Department (Sdis) of Charente-Maritime, indicated by The Parisian.
Because this number is not a scam, far from it. It is especially important because it is in fact the number used by the gendarmerie, police or firefighters after the first emergency contact. On its Facebook account, the Tarn gendarmerie added that the response to this call will not incur any costs for the person.
