Correos, one of Spain’s most impersonated companies, has explained how to avoid being scammed this Christmas.
Correos, the main shipping service in Spain, is frequently used by cybercriminals to carry out phishing scams. The most common tactics used are requests for payment or a delivery address where a supposed package is to be received.

For this reason, the company has given recommendations on what to do upon receiving a suspicious message from someone who claims to be them.

Because….??? The virus can only get you if you are out past 20:00? Or the virus can only get you at a wedding if you are there past midnight??? The Irish government has gone “Full Monty” with this nonsense. We have already been told that although Omicron is highly contagious it is also extremely MILD in comparison to all the other variants. When will people get through their thick skulls that case numbers does NOT equate to case deaths and no one has died OF Omicron thus far anywhere in the world! In fact most people haven’t died FROM any of the variants, but have died WITH the variants from other causes. This is nothing but the normalization of complete government control over our lives, our businesses and individual bodies. If they people do not rise up against this nonsense they deserve to live under totalitarian control forever!
