Overview
- Bahía Blanca’s consumer office issued an alert about fake emails that mimic government notices tied to the *910 line.
- The emails use a sender like hola@comunicacion.argentina.gob.ar and bait clicks on “Ver más” or “Desuscribirme” that can steal bank and account data or install malware.
- The real program blocks a phone’s unique IMEI across all carriers, and you start it by calling *910 from any phone.
- Do not click links, verify guidance on argentina.gob.ar, and change passwords or log out of banking and social apps because IMEI blocking does not erase data.
- Buyers of used phones are urged to check the IMEI first, since a device reported and blocked will not work on mobile networks in Argentina.
