Warning

The Dirección General de Protección Civil y Emergencias has notified the Subdelegación de Gobierno to inform us that someone, of unknown identity, is telephoning in the name of the Protección Civil seeking sponsorship  or advertising revenue  for a magazine they are publishing.

It is  illegal use of the name of the Dirección General de Protección Civil y Emergencias for this sort of economic interest.  The action could  therefore constituent a crime; allowing the people concerned to profit from public money.

When I was at Anfield School, we used to regularly get calls from a variety of organisations asking us to contribute to charity or pay for an insertion in some magazine or other. If they got through to the right person, these people got short shrift but on one occasion they spoke to a Deputy who agreed that the the school would make an annual contribution to some bogus charity. It took a solicitor's letter to get us out of that situation.
