Ask for ID and take a photo. Call the number on your bill.

How the scam is built
Hurry + fake authority + a channel you do not control (link, PDF, AnyDesk, reverse Bizum, new IBAN). Check on the channel you already trust: the app you installed, the number on the card, a .gob.es address you type yourself.
What to do
- Do not tap the link in the message. Type the site or open the installed app.
- Never read out an SMS code. Never paste a 12-word seed in a chat.
- 017 INCIBE. Report at denuncias.policia.es or a police station.
- hola@safe.madrid — no passwords, no ID photo.
