eye! Yorgames SMS is a scam
If you have received an SMS message on your mobile phone which indicates that from now on you are subscribed to Yorgames -a video game download platform- and that from now on you will pay 50 euros per week, be careful, since it is a scam that has become enormously popular in recent hours.
It is a scam that seeks to obtain personal data from users
This is pointed out by numerous users who have posted screenshots of the message on Twitter warning the rest about the scam it entails. The SMS message includes a link where you can supposedly unsubscribe. However, when accessing this web page, personal data is requested from the user, the ultimate goal of the cybercriminals who have popularized this scam.
Users on Twitter ask the Civil Guard and the Police Telematic Crimes Unit to investigate this scam, although the police agencies have not yet ruled on the matter.
@Civil Guard please look into this because I’m afraid it’s another scam.
Thanks Damian, you are now subscribed to Yorgames for €50/week. To cancel, https://t.co/kWD80eYcXb

If the message is received, and a subscription has not been formalized, it would be advisable not to access the cancellation page. As an additional security measure, mobile payments could be paused. Of course, it is advisable to report any fraud or scam to the Civil Guard or the National Police.
At the moment there is no more information about the fraud, although the Mahacot.com website has already confirmed that it is an SMS scam, a confirmed scam, and users are asked if they receive this type of message, especially , do not click on the link it includes and do not provide any personal data.
The best thing to do, in this sense, is to completely ignore the message, as happens with any other scam, and of course, do not click on a link that comes from an unconfirmed source, as in this case, Yorgames. Common sense is recommended when opening any link that arrives by SMS or WhatsApp from an unknown number.
