The Spanish Association of Consumers (Asescon) warns of a new fraud related to the Disney+ platform through the technique of identity theft.

This was warned in a statement in which he claimed to have received several "notices" from users to whom, supposedly, the platform would have sent them an email indicating that their account would be canceled.

Among the "fraudulent" emails that, according to the consumer organization, "impersonate Disney+", some of the "most common" would be those that ask the user to "update payment information" or threaten that their account "will be suspended unless they update their personal data".

"By answering this email with what they ask us, we are revealing personal or banking information," the association said, while stressing that the link provided by the alleged scammers "is fraudulent and redirects to a false website."

In it, according to the organization, "the user is asked to enter confidential information, such as bank and personal data" and, once the "victim" provides this information, criminals "will use it to commit fraud and identity theft."

In this context, he recommended those who have received this type of emails to visit the profile they have open on that platform, without entering "any link" that they send you, and verify that the account "is without any pending charge or any data update message".

After recalling that companies "never request confidential information by email", the association denounced that, in recent years, attempts to scam through identity theft techniques "have grown in an alarming way".
