Spanish police have issued a warning alert about fraudulent applications targeting fans of the Barcelona versus Levante football match.

The Guardia Civil states that fraudulent streaming apps, often under names such as Futbol Libre, are rampant online. These applications claim to be legal options to stream the game.

However, they can damage smartphones and computers by installing harmful software. User passwords and personal data may be exposure to theft.

Authorities urge that supporters only use official and verified services to watch live matches. The scams exploit the high anticipation in the game to deceive users.
