The Spanish government's plan to curb phone scams is beginning to yield results. In just six months, telecommunications operators have blocked more than 50 million fraudulent calls and messages. It's a reality well known to everyone and increasingly common. Text messages reporting problems with package delivery when one is expected, WhatsApp conversations asking for help because a family member has lost their phone and needs an income quickly, calls with robotic voices easily offering jobs... The list of examples is endless, and all of them are after personal data to gain access to bank accounts.
