Cybellet strategies are not only more and more complex. Also more daring. The last one is what the National Police warns in their Twitter account and It is based on impersonating agents of the same policeman.
According to the video broadcast on social networks, “Detected a massive postal campaign” that use domain @police.es to impersonate them. Complexity is such that cybercriminals change the username to mislead.
The basis of the scam is supported by asking users who come to an alleged central department, located in Madrid, to Check a fictional file on behalf of who receives the message. To access the information about the alleged file you have to open a fraudulent link that opens the door for a virus to enter our device and thus steal data such as our name, address, card data and our contacts, among others.
🚨Detected new massive emails campaign supplanting the domain “@police.is”
With the excuse of citing you to go to the police station, they put a fraudulent link
❌ Do not click on the link
❌ Do not provide data

In the video, the National Police make clear Not only do not fall into the scam, but they are not the ones who have sent the mail. To avoid falling into the trap, he recommends not opening the link and deleting the mail, both from our entrance mailbox and the paper.
This is another Phishing case or, basically, impersonation of identity. To avoid falling into them, you have to ensure the origin of the message and not open doubtful links. In situations like this, it is better to make sure calling the source directly, be it an agency of the government, a bank or a friendship.
It is also recommended Do not respond to messages or download files to see the content. That alone, without entering the website, already allows the device to be infected. Using an antivirus is also a prevention measure, but the best is to use caution: most organisms do not send an email requesting personal information. They only ask that our keys be entered in the corresponding application, which already guarantees a greater level of security.
