There are two posible cases depending on the rationality of the points in these groups. We show that for finite fields Fq, q= -1 mod 3, all elliptic curves with a point of order 3, they have another rational subgroup whose points are not defined over the finite field. If q = 1 mod 3, this is no true; but there exits a one to one correspondence between curves with points of order 3 and curves with rational subgroups whose points are not rational.Submitted to publication.
