Government warns of tax rebate phishing scam
TAX authorities in Spain have warned of a series of 'phishing' emails going round purporting to be from them and telling the recipient he or she has a refund due.
These emails, which the tax ministry says look very authentic, ask for the person's bank details to reimburse them overpaid tax for the previous year.
This then allows the sender to empty the victim's account.
Normally, to get a tax refund due, residents have to fill out a form very similar to that which shows on the email.
But the ministry says it only ever returns overpaid tax via strictly-controlled and secure channels, usually by mailing a hard copy of the refund notice in the post from the government's tax collection agency, the Agencia Tributaria.
The ministry of tax will never ask for credit card or debit card details via a form on their website.
They have uncovered the scam as a result of various reports from residents in Spain saying they had received these emails.
Dogs Poo
Parts of Calpe will soon be knee deep in dogs mess unless something is done to rectify the situation. Judging by the amount of poo around every tree, on the roads, pavements and graveled areas, I would say at least 75% of dog owners do not pick up after their dog. Dog owners should be ashamed of how they are downgrading some areas, by turning into one huge dogs toilet. Have these people not got a conscience or any pride in where they live?
The UK used to be the same until it became socially unacceptable not to pick up after your dog and now the situation is vastly improved.
So please dog owners pick up after your dog and take some pride in the place; make life better for us all and Calpe a place that we can be proud to live in. Written by Salty Dog
