Germany was not the only non-US country represented in the #LoggerEIO #smishing attack (so far).
There was one version of a page claiming to be the Spanish highway authority, Dirección General del Tráfico (DGT), that warns you owe a 100 Euro fine (multa) for some kind of driving infraction you committed, that must be paid within 24 hours.
More recently, I spotted a flood of pages that claim to be from the UK government's Winter Fuel Payment program. The real program helps impoverished people not freeze to death in winter by subsidizing the high cost of heating. But this page simply wants your credit card to "test" charge your card for £1 on the promise that you'll get up to £300.

Labour's decision to cut Winter Fuel Payments for pensioners has backfired, contributing to their local election losses. Now, they're considering a U-turn. Was this policy misstep avoidable? #WinterFuelPayment #LabourPolicy https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2025/may/06/winter-fuel-payments-labour-keir-starmer-wes-streeting-kemi-badenoch-latest-live-news

To be fair, we’ve all had £32000 to spend on clothes given to us, this isn’t corrupt in any way. No It’s not the same as the tories, it’s different because of reasons ….. reasons we can can’t discuss #brexit #tory #tories #toryscum #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #nhs #labourcorruption #costofliving #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #toryleadership #ToryCorruption #standuptoracism #winterfuelpayment #rachelreeves #wealthtax

I admit, I've been a bit confused over the winter fuel payment drama as I thought it was about giving pensioners allowance for car fuel, and I'm aware pensioners have access to bus pass, so I've been really confused.
Now I'm aware it's about paying for heating, yes this is a really weird and cruel thing to do, and a very weird hill to die on.
