Telefonica email address scam

Postby Beachcomber » Wed Oct 09, 2019 7:59 am

This is a new one on me but it seems to have been around for a while. If you have a Telefónica email address beware of any email you receive that starts like this.

Nos disculpamos por las molestias, pero al parecer, los mensajes enviados a la dirección youremail@telefonica.net ya no están siendo entregados o redirigidos.

Hemos inhabilitado temporalmente el envío de cualquier comunicación hacia youremail@telefonica.net.

A fin de poder seguir recibiendo mensajes importantes nuestros (es decir, del Centro de Comunicación Web, comunicaciones del portal Movistar - Telefonica y Servicio de correo, cambios en la cuenta, notificaciones, etc.), por favor, complete el siguiente paso:


It is a scam trying to get you to click on a link. The email address referred to in the one sent to me is still working and a check with the Movistar forum confirms that it is a scam.

I have my suspicions from where this originates but I cannot prove it.

Thanks for the heads up Beach. The Nigerian scammers are getting quite clever.

Unless it is a huge coincidence and I am totally wrong I would say that it is a lot closer to home than that.
