Days before, on the afternoon of January 6, Andrés, 77 years old, received a phone call from what he believed was a salesperson for his telephone and Internet company. In it, the false commercial requested numerous personal data to, theoretically, be able to carry out a change of ownership of the line that the user was carrying out on previous dates, from a relative to his own name. The data he requested were not only those related to himself, but also related to his wife and the previous relative who owned the telephone line.
