Multiple authorities and financial institutions have issued warnings about ongoing scams involving fraudulent communications targeting consumers. CaixaBank has alerted its customers to be cautious of suspicious phone calls. The Banco de España has advised vigilance when using ATMs due to potential fraud risks. In Spain, warnings have been issued about phishing emails impersonating Movistar and BBVA, which attempt to infect devices with malware or gain unauthorized access to bank accounts. In the United States, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and SunPass emphasized that they never send texts or emails demanding immediate toll payments or personal information, urging consumers to report such scams to the Florida Attorney General’s Office. FasTrak also warned customers about fraudulent texts claiming outstanding balances and threatening penalties or legal action. Additionally, French authorities cautioned against smishing, a form of SMS phishing where cybercriminals impersonate trusted entities, advising the public to verify message senders, avoid sharing confidential information, and refrain from clicking on suspicious links. These combined alerts highlight a global rise in sophisticated scams exploiting digital communication channels to defraud individuals.
