Madrid, November 8, 2024.- Red.es, -entity attached to the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function-- has cautiously suspended the presence of the Internet domain ayudavalencia.es due to signs of fraud and at police request.

The action has been initiated as a matter of urgency, after receiving, from the Valencia Provincial Information Brigade of the National Police, a complaint about requests from this website for fraudulent donations of economic aid, through Bitcoin cryptocurrency, for those affected by the DANA in the Valencian Community.

Immediately, and in coordination with the State Security Forces, its blocking has been formally activated so that the domain no longer has internet activity.

To speed up this process, Red.es has requested the collaboration of the main telecommunications operators in the country so that they immediately block the navigation to this website by their customers, with the aim of preventing their access and so that citizens do not fall victim to this type of cybercrime. All this has been done within the framework of the police investigation, which is continuing.
