translated from Spanish: IMSS rules out data fraud to handle supports following complaints

In the face of complaints from users of an alleged misuse of personal data to request minicredits, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) denied that this information is being misused.
On social media, citizens said that their Federal Taxpayer Register (RFC) was used without authorization to process some of the institute’s supports for the health emergency by COVID-19.

Some of them showed their screen on the IMSS Word Solidarity Support site with the legend “their solidarity support for the word has already been issued”, without requiring this credit.

Go to the @Tu_IMSS page to register in the supports you mentioned, just enter my curp and tell me that it has already been issued?????? I have not even entered any other of my data, and since it may have already been issued? no one has contacted me. pic.twitter.com/E0gVSAfraW

I would like to report this fraud with regard to the Solidarity Support for the Word of @Tu_IMSS programme. I called to request support and was told no and now it turns out that someone used my RFC to process it. @SATMX @SOYCarlosMota @SFP_mx @Potrillo_leon #corruptos #IMSS pic.twitter.com/wwpLma876Y

However, the institute noted that this “does not imply that he was credited.”
“That message implies that several access attempts have been made. The text will be modified to avoid future confusion,” Carlos Mota, one of the users, replied.

The screen that states ” “your support for the word has already been issued” does not imply that you were granted the credit. That message implies that multiple access attempts have been made.
The text will be modified to avoid future confusion.
