The Spanish Consumer Association (Asescon) has warned of the “notable increase” in fraudulent emails and SMS from supposed messaging companies that turn out not to be real in this last Christmas period and in view of the celebration of the Three Wise Men.
This association has warned that it is “very easy” to fall into these traps given that at this time many consumers are waiting for delivery of a purchase to their home, as reported in a press release.
It has been the consumers themselves who have alerted Asescon of this situation through their alert channels (social networks and email), as stated.
Thus, this association has advised to avoid clicking on any link that arrives through email or messaging applications, as it could contain viruses that redirect the user to a fraudulent website in order for us to provide personal information or passwords. bank accounts.
In addition, it has asked to be cautious with offers for program extensions, applications, subscriptions and television services these days, and make sure they come from authentic applications.
It has recommended that you be wary of messages that warn that an order has not been placed, could not be delivered or that your payment information needs to be updated, and has advised to always buy on secure pages.
