A number of different materials were prepared under this framework. Their simple advice will help protect personal, financial and professional data, preventing cybercriminals from accomplishing their goals. The campaign was created by Europol's European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), the European Banking Federation (EBF), the Spanish Banking Association (AEB), the National Police, the Civil Guard and other public and private partners.



From October 17th - 23rd, the campaign will offer simple tools and tricks to avoid falling victim to scams such as:

- Sending personal data, fraudulently requested by email (phishing), text message (smishing) or a phone call (vishing).

1. Phishing: This consists of sending of an email in which the identity is replaced, in most cases of a well-known organization, and through which the user's data (address, bank details, passwords, etc.) is requested. For the user to provide such data, in most cases, it is necessary to follow a link that appears in the email and once on that false page, enter the requested information.
