Protect yourself against cyber fraud. ALTÁN DOES NOT sell or send promotions to end-users.

ALTÁN INFORMS 

Recently, text messages have circulated, as well as URLs or links to websites, which ensure false benefits for being our clients, so it is necessary to clarify that Altán Redes S.A.P.I. from C.V. (Altán) does not send messages through any channel, nor does offer promotions to the consumers, since it operates a completely wholesale network, and, under no circumstances does it sell telecommunications services to end-users. 

It is important to emphasize that ALTÁN Redes, as responsible for the design, deployment, operation, and maintenance of the Red Compartida, does not offer gifts or benefits in exchange for personal information. 

These messages are a type of fraud called phishing, a cybercrime that, by usurping the identity of a company or person, directs users to a web page to obtain confidential data, to then supplant their identity and make purchases or withdraw money from people’s bank accounts. 

Our recommendation is to ignore these messages and not respond to emails from suspicious or unknown senders. Likewise, do not enter the links attached to these emails, nor provide personal data (users and/or passwords) in any link sent by email, chat or text message with these characteristics.
