If you order a product online online and get it a message requesting the payment of 1.4 euros to remove viral packets due to coronavirus, don't trust it, because it's fraud: Correos won't ask you for an extra charge to disinfect the package. This message was received by the Canary Islands Computer Crime Observatory (ODIC) and has been warned by Guadia Civil.
Scam is not only available to those who have bought online, but It may come even if you haven't asked for anything, which also proves to be fraudulent. So, when you receive a message like this, don't fall into the trap of clicking on the attached link and try to find official information on the Internet on the official site of the organization they intend to emulate.

No, Correos will not charge you to disable your package
This message – it may seem legitimate if we are not brave enough– You can reach us both by email and text message via mobile phone, in both sectors making the Post and saying the following:
COVID-19 has brought many changes. Correos has implemented new organizational structures and labor agreements in line with the company's trade unions. Your package is ready for you. To disable your package, you must complete a € 1.40 payment. Click & # 39; next & # 39; to continue.
In addition, it is possible that in the same message we are seeing the package tracking code "HTW6998209459", which is completely incorrect and when we try to test it on the official website it simply doesn't exist. In fact The match for this false tracking code is incompatible with the truth. You must enter Correos' follow-up website only to check it out.
Still, and despite the fact that it may seem like the intention is to charge us 1,4 euros, in reality it is not, the author of the building aims to keep your access data on the Correos website. In other words, as long as we click a website, it will not take us to the payment site, but it is the Correos website accessory where we have to enter our data. And if we do, our username and password will ultimately be in the hands of third parties.
Probably the latest goal is Sell those same login details to other people. Cyber criminals know that a large percentage of people use the same password for all web services, so an attacker can use them to log in, for example, our Amazon account – if we are one of those many sharing keys between websites -.

We must remember that because we are trapped at home, our risk of cyber-attacks is enormous. In fact, Google receives about 18 million scams every day with Gmail, it's likely to be the most widely used online scam to date.
