Beware of some messages purputedly from Correos

[TamaraEnLaPlaya]

I've received several messages saying they are from Correos over the last few months asking me to pay 1.79E for customs in order for a packet to be delivered. They include a link for making a payment by card. Each time it has been for 1.79E!
Beware, these are attempted fraud! You won't always get this red warning page until the number has been reported so beware.

Banks are responding to this scam.  With BBVA I now have to use a virtual CVV (the three numbers usually on the signature strip on the back of the card), so if I want to buy anything on the Internet, I have to open the BBVA app on my phone (2 step security) and click a button to reveal a "1 off CVV" (With a further security step required).

If the scammers then try to use that CVV a second time, the bank blocks the transaction.  

Simples!!  A bit of a pain to be using phone and computer at the same time, but it gives that extra bit of security.

These scams still going:- just had one this morning with a "link" and asking for customs payment of 2.64 euros.
Obviously I did not reply
