Help Needed for Dog in Danger

Can anyone in the Torre del Mar area help a little female bodeguero type dog who is in heat at the moment and coming in and out of a neighbour’s garden as she pleases? The garden goes straight onto a road (not busy but cars do go down it) so everyone is terrified that she’s going to get run over (and/or pregnant…) I can’t take her in as I have a male dog and she needs extra special care as she is terrified of humans (although gradually getting better). She’s a bit of an escape artist too :(. If anyone can offer her a safe place until she is neutered (we and our neighbours have clubbed together to cover the cost) and beyond that if possible please let me know. Thank you and please share!                         Email – rhodes_jennie @ hotmail.com

 

Endesa Scam Warning 

I hope you can place this in the next Digamextra.

I found this on the official Endesa-website.

It is a warning regarding the fake emails and what to do if you

clicked on any link and your computer is affected…

Anna

We have detected a fraudulent campaign simulating Endesa notifications and inviting you to download the bill. Once the email has been opened, if you click on the link, you will be taken to a site containing malicious code (“a virus”), which blocks the personal files of computer users.

We have already warned our customers about this fraudulent campaign, which uses a supposed company bill as a decoy. If users download the content, all their personal files stored on their computer will be blocked and they will then be asked to pay a ransom to recover the files.

We are already carrying out the relevant actions to combat this software attack and we will keep you informed of any relevant updates in this regard.

 The Spanish National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE) is offering a service to help those affected by the fake Endesa bill virus.

In order to identify the type of virus and to verify whether the data can be recovered, the INCIBE recommends sending an email to incidencias@certsi.es and attaching two or three Word or Excel files (originally with a .doc or .xls extension) affected by the virus and which do not contain private or confidential information and larger than 1 MB. In addition, you will have to refer to the file that explains how to make the corresponding payment to recover the information.

 

 

Baby Ian’s Charity Raffle- Competa

I want to thank everyone who supported the recent raffle I organised for our Competa baby  Ian, who is suffering with Osteogenesis Imperfecta  (brittle bone disease)

As always the community of Competa and surrounding villages who so generously helped and I raised 555euros to help the baby and his family for his medical therapy and care.

Thank you also to the local businesses who once again gave raffle prizes;  Hotel Balcon, Competa,  Chica Loca, La Esquina de Miguel, La Taperia, Restaurante El Pampano,  Taberna Teteria Hierbabuena and local residents who kindly donated prizes;  Grace,  Juilie and Sandie.

Again, thank you everyone.

Kevin  Deavin,  Raffle Organiser.

 

 

Cacti White Flies

Lots of good advice on the Cochineal Cactus flies and the Cactus but in the meantime, rush down to Lidl and get one of those Insect electrocutors – 10 euros and works a treat – not many left – I have two !!

TC-ME smallHow to place an article on DigameXtra!

Send an email to janekirkspain @ gmail (dot) com

The subject line of the email should be what you’d like to see as your heading – otherwise, I choose a subject line

The text of the email should be what you’d like to see published – but note:

 Prices must be included with items for sale.

If your first attempt to sell fails, note that a second attempt will not be allowed unless the original price is reduced considerably, nor for at least 2 weeks later.

Photos will only be published once.

Photos must be in JPG or JPEG Format

Please do not send ads for property / real estate.

All formatting, pretty colours, bold, underlining, strange fonts etc are automatically removed.

Please – Don’t use all Block CAPITALS LIKE THIS or I may have to send it back for you to put into normal case (This is the way people normally write, with capital letters where appropriate – such as “I” and place names “Malaga”, makers’ names such as “Electrolux”,    days of the week “Monday”

You must include contact details, either an email address or a telephone number in the text. If you don’t I cannot publish it. Often I cannot “extract “your email address from the email, so repeat it please.

This is not a service for local companies to exploit.

The decision about what to publish is mine, if I don’t want to publish then I won’t.

About Photos and other attachments

If you want to send a picture please send it as an attachment to your email, in JPG or JPEG format and try and keep the size down to around 200KB.

Please don’t send PDFs or Word documents.

Your email address must be quoted in this forrmat…I insert spaces within the address so that nasty software can’t steal their address for spam purposes – e,g, my address is correctly   janekirkspain@gmail,com

if it were a Contributor’s address I’d insert spaces thus –

janekirkspain @ gmail,com.

So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor. 

New Rules for Blog

The rules for Blogs have changed and it now means that I could face a fine if I publish any negative reviews of any person or company – even though it may be true or half true.

 Thank you – Working together we can achieve so much!       Jane
