For many people, making an appointment with the SEPE is hell. So there are already “managers” charging 99 euros to sneak you in

Where you see something as unremarkable as an appointment with the SEPE, there are those who see something quite different: easy money. A juicy business that is cooked between networks, chats and platforms on-line of advertisements and that skirts the law to reach clients desperate to deal with the State. Its dynamics are very simple: managers appointments take advantage of the weaknesses of public administrations and their reservation systems to monopolize (free) appointments and then sell them. What do you urgently need to be attended to at the SEPE to process the unemployment benefit but there is no way to reserve an appointment on the official website? Do you need a procedure in Immigration? No problem. Pay and have an appointment tomorrow. five seconds. That’s how long it takes to find advertisements of people who offer to find and book appointments to carry out procedures at the SEPE. All (of course) in exchange for a payment that can range from 10 to 30 or even 100 euros. Your business it’s not entirely newjust as it is not the situation which they take advantage of: a cocktail of factors in which the staff cuts in the administration, failures in computer systems and the mischief of people willing to get rich by flouting the law and marketing a public service: prior appointments for citizens who need to make urgent arrangements, such as requesting unemployment benefits or presenting documents at the Immigration Office. “There were no appointments”. A few days ago elDiario.es published an article which gives an idea of ​​to what extent this has become chronic. illegal marketing of SEPE appointments, at least in part of Spain. The newspaper recounts the case of a 35-year-old woman, Sofía, who after losing her job did the most logical thing: go on the Public Employment Service website to request unemployment benefits. No luck. He did not find available appointments to go to the agency’s offices. Neither in Lleida (its province) nor in nearby areas. He tried it the next day with identical results. And on the other, and again on the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh day. Always without success. In total, he spent ten days in front of the computer, pressing the F5 key every so often in the hope of finding a free space. “It’s an abuse”. “I would have been willing to drive hours if necessary. But there was nothing at all,” confesses desperately Sofía, who saw how the deadline was consumed 15 business days that was available to request unemployment without losing benefit time. In the end she managed to get treated, but not thanks to a stroke of luck. She got the appointment through a friend’s contact, a stranger who, in exchange for 45 euros, scheduled an appointment for her in 48 hours. Maybe 45 euros seems like a lot of money for a free public service, but she herself recognizes There are those who charge up to 99 euros. “It’s an abuse.” How is it possible? For several factors. To start with the tensions in the administration. a few months ago The Country denounced the difficulties that citizens in Spain are having in getting appointments in the offices of the old INEM, especially those distributed along the Mediterranean coast, the islands and Madrid and Barcelona, ​​a phenomenon that is explained by the thinning of the workforce, the workload and failures of those they have already warned the unions. “Between 2022 and 2024 we have had 1,412 retirements. In 2025 we have lost 725 people,” laments in elDiario.es Manuel Galdeano, from the CSIF. From UGT they recognize that a service that should be provided by 12,000 personnel must be content with 7,300, which in their opinion translates into a work overload for the SEPE staff, but also a decrease in service to citizens. Taking advantage of the system. The other key that explains the ease with which people like the one who helped Sofía get appointments when the SEPE seems collapsed must be sought in the bowels of the system. Those who market with shifts They have their “tricks”such as bots and resources that allow them to automate searches and collect dozens of appointments daily. Then they just have to advertise their services on networks and chats and wait for vulnerable citizens to knock on their door. When that happens and they ‘hunt’ a desperate user, the managers appointments only have to cancel one of the many reservations they have made and request that space again, in seconds, with the personal data (name and surname, ID, postal code…) that the client has previously provided them. In exchange they charge 10, 20, 30, 40 or more euros via Bizum. In some cases almost 100 are required. Easy, simple… Ethical? Communication is online and clients are recruited through call centers, WhatsApp groups, social networks and advertising websites. In some case the managers dating sites advertise as companies and, assures elDiariothere are those who even try to appear more authoritative by using images of professional organizations without any permission. Their business relies mainly on the anxiety of users who need to contact the administration. Also in ignorance. The SEPE website allows, for example, to carry out a pre-application unemployment benefit that prevents users from losing days of unemployment even if it takes more than two weeks to get an in-person appointment. Is it something new? No. And perhaps that is the most curious thing. A quick search in the newspaper archive arrives to verify that the marketing with prior appointments with the administration It is not a new practice. In fact in 2020 the SEPE has already denounced before the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Barcelona the resale of appointments to resolve procedures in its offices, a practice that USO had warned about shortly before. Nor is it something that exclusively affects Employment. The same illicit business affects immigration services, a practice reported by officials and that has even led to police operations with dozens of arrested. In the case of the SEPE, … Read more

apps that organize the appointment directly

Our attention is the most precious good for the apps that we have on the mobile. Instagram and Tiktokthe Chatbots of AI… Virtually any app wants to hook us and appointment apps were not going to be less. Tinder converted the search for a couple (or what arises) into an infinite swipe with endless profiles to do Match. However, it seems that the format of offering the more options the better is being exhausted and there are more apps that opt ​​for the contrary: take control and decide for you. The app decides. Until recently, most appointments opted for the Tinder format, but recently new proposals are emerging with a different approach: instead of being the user who spent hours sailing, chatting and looking for their Match Perfect, it is the app who takes control and decides for you. It sounds good, although as they count on the New York Timessome are stopped. Breeze. “A match means an instant appointment,” Breezean app developed in Holland that has already made the leap to more European countries (in Spain not yet) some areas of the United States. Every day, the app sends you a selection of people who may like it and, if you match someone, the app will check the availability of both and arrange an appointment. If you do not accept appointments, in the end they freeze your account. There is not everything left, they also focus on security verifying all users and ensure appointments are carried out in bars that are associated with the app. Breeze is free, but if you get appointments you will have to pay. Near. Oriented to gene generation, the approach of Near It is finding appointments with your friends’s friends. As? Forcing you to share all your contacts if you want to join. The idea is that quotes occur between people with nearby circles, not among strangers. Thus, those mutual friends can give you information and corroborate that your link “is trustworthy.” With this idea, close wants to end practices such as Ghosting since “your reputation is at stake.” It is only Available for iPhone. CUFFED. This app is committed to exclusivity. In Cupd you can only have one match at the same time so that both people are only chatting with each other and not with several at the same time. There are more, only the members can enter and that is only achieved if the app accepts you or if you get a referred code. Once inside, you are obliged to pay the premium subscription, whose prices go from 14.99 to $ 79.99. The Tinder format loses bellows. Having many options is not always good. In apps such as Tinder or Bumble it is easy to get tired of reading profiles, keeping empty conversations and even having appointments. The use data confirmed it: last year we talk about Tinder was losing usersespecially those who paid for Tinder Plus or Gold. After nine years of growth, In 2024 Bumble began to lose users. It seems that the trend is clear. ‘Dating fatigue’. Appointment apps face what is known as ‘Dating fatigue’or what is the same: that it gives you laziness to link. According to data from a Survey by Forbes78% of US appointment apps users admit to being tired of using them. Before a model that seems to be starting its decline, the new models such as those of these apps have an opportunity to highlight. Or even The not so new.

The appointment apps promised to be the end of the old marriage agencies. The result has been quite different

The classics never die. Not at least if we talk about love and his things. Although Tinder, GrindrMeetic, Bumble and the rest of appointment apps (The list is long) They have made a considerable hole in the world of national romance, in Spain there are still people who continue to resort to those who for decades were the great allies of the single: marriage agencies. Its objective may not be to take couples before the altar, but a Fast search in Google to verify that there are still agencies operating, especially in the big cities. And from the sector they assure that they are not doing badly. “We are on the rise”, celebrate. The big question is … How have you managed to survive appointment apps? Don’t say Tinder, di agency. Ligar today is not the same as linking in the 80s the beginning of the 2000. Although the essence is always the same, each time has its own forms and codes. The history of Ligteo However, he also has his milestones and probably one of the most relevant was marked by the launch of Tinder In 2012. It was not the first platform to look for a partner (there were already match.com or okcupid), but it did clearly influenced the sector and somehow managed to knock down some taboos and stigmas. In 2013 it was already one of the hundred apps more downloaded And in 2018, after experiencing a 58% growth in a matter of a five years, it exceeded the four million of paid users worldwide. Its expansion has experienced ups and downs (Like His social footprint), but A recent study GFK DAM shows that he continues to lead the ranking of the platforms to flirt in Spain, with an average of 1.5 million monthly users. In second and third are Badoo and Grindr, with 776,000 and 635,600 users. And the marriage agencies? That revolution was not only felt in the networks or Apps downloads. The emergence of tools such as Tinder also affected a business model that had been implanted in the country and had experienced its golden era after the Divorce Law of 1981: Marriage agencies. Suddenly those who wanted to flirt but did not have time or encouragement to go to a disco could do it from their mobile, without having to resort (and pay) to the services of a professional celestine. “We go from being the only way of searching for a couple to live a strong competition,” He recognized in 2023 to the newspaper ABC Alicia López, psychologist at the Apesian agency. The agencies had to undertake their particular journey through the desert, face a crisis in their business model. And they had no choice but to “reinvent themselves”, like Remember López. Businesses organized workshops, looked for new income paths, influenced the strengths of their service … The idea was to relocate, find their coordinates after seeing how apps the apps “moved”. And changed the wave. The Adagio says that every crisis is at the same time an opportunity. And in the world of pairing professionals seems to have been fulfilled. Appointment apps and websites continue to work in Spain with millions of monthly users (4.7, According to GFK DAM), but the agencies claim to have found their hole and even benefit from the new scenario. “A few years ago that wave has returned to us and many people are tired from the digital world and their disappointments and lies,” López comments. “Of course, there is something that we thank these apps and that is that people have encouraged to ask for help to find a partner. Before it was a bit taboo, such as going to the psychologist,” he adds. It is not the only one that points in that direction. At the beginning of the year Carmen del Valle, director of Harmony, acknowledged in An interview With the being that at first the agencies like yours were “displaced” by apps, but over time the result was the opposite. “Now many people tired and frustrated.” And if there were doubts, he insists: “We are on the rise.” The importance of the approach. The key is what the agencies contribute. Or rather, in their ability to differentiate from the apps that have arisen in recent years. In fact of the valley insists In what a good part of the single ones who knock on their door demand something very specific: “A personalized and direct treatment.” These two values ​​are part of a cocktail to which agencies have added others, such as exclusivity, anonymity or even efficiency. “The agencies have existed a lifetime. Now, with apps, people look for safer and reliable options,” Confirm López to León News. Its logic is simple. The agencies are sold as intermediaries, a professional ally capable of providing a more personalized and direct service than that of apps. Those responsible are offered to refine the search, connect potential couples with shared affinities and desires and speak of high success percentages, often 80% are around. All without the need for public exposure, having to upload personal photos an app and go through the ritual of the Match. Not suitable for all pockets. For López Agencies offer “an alternative for people who want to avoid the dangers of staying with someone unknown in appointment apps.” As intermediaries, they assume the responsibility that the people who match share some affinity, something they try to guarantee with face -to -face interviews. Same important is discretion. There are agencies that organize appointments without having Show even photos To the single ones who are going to meet. Other businesses presume of your ability in he Matchmaking and the application of methods not very different from those used in the human resources departments of the companies. That assistance (of course) is not cheap. Prices may vary from one agency to another, but if interviews are reviewed to their managers in recent years there are rates for 300, 600, 1,800, 2,000, 6,000 or even 12,000 … Read more
