The Guardia Civil in Spain has issued a warning regarding a new fraud scheme that targets mobile users. The scam involves the theft of banking data and the duplication of SIM cards, leaving victims vulnerable to financial loss. Additionally, the Guardia Civil has reported phishing attacks impersonating well-known brands, such as Leroy Merlin, which are affecting numerous internet users. These scams promise enticing offers or services, like 5G connectivity, but ultimately aim to compromise personal information and finances. The warnings come amid a broader increase in cyber fraud activities as the holiday season approaches, with various reports indicating a rise in phishing attempts and fake applications designed to deceive consumers. Authorities are urging users to remain vigilant and cautious of unsolicited communications that could lead to identity theft or financial scams.
