Recently, the citizens have received fake emails from the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) where the recipients are asked to complete a survey to obtain a prize.
In doing so, they are redirected to a site and asked personal data and credit card number.
The institution clarifies they do not conduct such practices and that, according to their own investigations, this is a malicious mail, known as Phishing.
This type of scam intended to steal information from users to generate malicious activity.
Therefore, the ICE recommends:
– Ignoring these emails.
– Not opening any of these malicious emails.
– Avoid clicking links that come within the content or as attachments.
– Being protective of your personal data, bank accounts, passwords, email accounts or other personal information.
