Cubans who are present on different social networks are at risk of being scammed. This information was provided by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

The fraudulent procedure consists of promising the delivery of a monetary prize, granting responsibility to the Cuban headquarters of UNICEF. This organization assures that it has never given monetary resources to reward any triumph.

The UNICEF clarification was released, with the aim of alerting Cubans about the presence on the Internet of advertisements about government subsidies. The United Nations (UN) program reported that the false message is moving on some digital platforms and the WhatsApp application.

UNICEF is asking all residents of the largest of the Antilles not to provide personal data or enter the link. Cyberspace thieves want to steal people’s identities through their devices.

To achieve this purpose, criminals lie with the intention of giving money if a survey is filled out. This document asks for names, surnames, telephone numbers and email addresses.

As avoid las scams?

The authorities recommend that you do not access the content of the link, because there is a possibility of acquiring malicious software. Another reason to stay away from this deception is to prevent illegal computer scientists from having access to other people’s information.

The country’s economic problems have stimulated the practices of these illicit acts that benefit from the shortcomings of users. These crimes are perfected and take on the appearance of official institutions to be credible.

The increase in improper actions towards their victims within economic difficulties responds to different elements. Among these aspects are desperation due to lack of financial capacity, attempts to try new options, and concerns that leave citizens vulnerable. The rise of technologies and the increase in netizens, ignorance of danger, as well as misinformation on the networks also influence.
