NOTICE!
Submissions for posting in sections below
must include this info or they will be returned !!!
Sender's First Name / Nearest Town
Note: You may additionally include a location to meet or pickup,
but your location is required in any case. If selling an item from a location different from where you reside, you must include both.
For example: "...Buyer collects in Nerja, John/Malaga"
Why? DigameXtra covers a large area. So, for example, readers in Motril are unlikely to make recommendations, or call about most for-sale items, if they know you are located in Coin. As for including both locations in for-sale posts, the buyer needs to know where to collect the item, but they will also want to know where you are from in case there is a problem. Your cooperation is appreciated.

MOONETTE – Organic Skincare for Mature Skin
We are a Torrox-based company specialising in the creation of formulae which help prevent premature skin ageing. We are committed to making effective products at affordable prices.
Your skin health matters to us. How you feed your skin is as important as how you feed your body. Why settle for anything less than natural and organic?
As our skin is the first layer of our defence against microbial infections, ultraviolet radiation and environmental contamination it plays a vital role in our health. As we grow older, however, our skin becomes thinner, wrinkled, and more sensitive; hence it requires the use of treatments containing specific ingredients to the care of treating mature skin.
Recognising this need we have created a range of formulae which help
-slow down ageing process by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
-improve facial complexion and eliminate blemishes.
At Moonette, we are passionate about health, beauty and plants. Your skin will benefit from the properties of botanic essential oils combined with a selection of nutrients for deep hydration, cell revitalization and antioxidant effect, all sourced from the finest natural ingredients with gorgeous fragrances.
Naturally, we care about our planet and feel the need to help reduce the sheer volumes of plastics waste that are generated daily around the globe. Presently, we are minimizing the usage of plastic materials in our production while seeking alternative forms of packaging. To help reduce pollution we are asking all local customers to recycle or reuse their Moonette skincare containers, and offering a small discount on future purchases to customers recycling containers.
**Free small testers are available on request** Please contact us to find out more or to order:

Spanish police arrest 12 people suspected of forging more than eight million 500-euro bank notes:
– Police have arrested 12 people, including several in Malaga, in an operation to break up a gang who were forging money and are accused of having produced more than eight million fake 500-euro notes.
– The police began investigating in mid-2021 when several fake 500-euro banknotes were detected all over Spain. The quality of the forgery was so high that the difference between those and the real ones was barely perceptible.

Sharon Osbourne Wants Her $900,000 Donation Back After Kanye West Called Out Black Lives Matter as a ‘Scam’:
– Sharon Osbourne agrees with Kanye West that Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a “scam” and would like her six-figure donation back. Please.
– The former The Talk co-host revealed her lack of faith in BLM when TMZ asked her about the rap icon’s recent public displays from his White Lives Matter t-shirt to his social media tirades questioning the work and intentions of the social movement.
– “Well, we gave $900,000 to [Black Lives Matter], and I’d like my money back please,” she told a reporter from the entertainment outlet. “I don’t understand why white lives don’t matter. I don’t understand it. It’s not my culture,” she said. “Everybody matters, don’t they?” Full article: https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2022/10/07/sharon-osbourne-wants-her-900000-donation-back-after-kanye-west-called-out-black-lives-matter-as-a-scam/

Facebook Notifies Users- You may have downloaded these password-stealing Android and iOS apps:
– In another Fakebook gaff, tech giant Meta (FB’s owner) said it has notified a million Facebook users that their usernames and passwords might have been stolen after downloading one of over 400 malicious Android and iOS smartphone apps.
– The apps were discovered in the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store over the course of the last year, posing as popular types of software.
– According to Meta, four in 10 of the apps posed as photo editors, while others posed as games, VPNs, health trackers, business applications, flashlight enhancers and other services to trick users into downloading them. Users who downloaded the malicious apps were asked to log in with their Facebook account before they could use the features they were promised – and if the user entered their username and password, it handed their credentials to the attackers.
