Guardia Civil warns of fake AEMET SMS scam

Fake SMS

A phoney link to the AEMET website, which requests user information, is included in the bogus mail in question. The Weather Channel warns: “Due to meteorological warnings for rain, a new SMS scam has been detected where you are sent a fraudulent link that links you to an application simulating Aemet asking for your data.”


You shouldn’t fall for it, of course. AEMET’s website is open and it doesn’t ask any personal information. The Guardia Civil expresses sadness that some individuals attempt to use the good intentions of others who may also be directly impacted by the Dana in such a delicate and concerning circumstance.

Zombie Survival comes to Orihuela

Zombies Orihuela

The ‘Survival zombie’ challenge, an interactive event set in several streets, will be held for the first time in Orihuela. Participants will be immersed in a post-apocalyptic narrative that is full of intrigue, action, and difficulties. “Orihuela will become, for one night, the scene of a survival story,” remarks Youth Councillor Anabel García. This event is scheduled for Saturday March 22nd and has been a huge success in a number of Spanish cities. Participants will receive preliminary instructions and the required materials to start the game at the Gabriel Miró roundabout at 10 p.m. As the game progresses, players will have to find the remaining sites by completing tasks and tests at various spots throughout the city. Fifty performers will work together to create the story and portray characters that will engage with the gamers along the way. The participants will feel as though they are in a horror film thanks to these actors’ superb character development.

With the help of the City Council, admission is 16.50 euros, with a 50% discount for those who are registered in Orihuela. Participants must show identification at the La Lonja auditorium in order to check in and obtain the required materials. You can register on the survivalzombie.es website right now.

Young folks 14 years of age and up are the target audience. It is advised that adults accompany minors to the event. It’s also crucial to remember that in order to register on their own, people must be of legal age. This event is being arranged for the first time, and the councillor encourages young people to take part in order “to experience the city in a different way and immerse themselves in an adventure of fun and strategy.”
