From Errejón’s perspective, it is precisely because
the economy
, （long dependent on the kind of mass tourism
that ceased to exist during the pandemic
）,
is
in crisis that the change is especially relevant now.
依Errejón之见，正是因为长期依赖于在疫情之下不复存在的大众旅游产业，经济正处在危机之中，这一改变才显得尤为重要。
主句为it is because the economy is in crisis that...
long dependent on...是对economy的修饰
1.relevant: closely connected with the subject you are discussing or the situation you are thinking about一般理解为“相关的”，这里理解为“切题”或“正中下怀”比较合适

phishing
, non-payment/non-delivery
scams
and
extortion
. Business Email Compromise schemes were the costliest internet crimes last year with adjusted losses of $1.8 billion.

2020 was notable for the emergence of schemes exploiting the Covid-19 pandemic with both individuals and businesses targeted.

Another growing problem throughout the pandemic has been criminals impersonating government representatives over the phone, via email and through social media. Through
charades
and threats, they managed to gain both money and personal information. Scams have also emerged as the pace of vaccinations accelerated where people have been asked to pay for
jabs
out of pocket
or to provide personal information in exchange for appointments.
另外一个在疫情期间日益严重的问题是犯罪分子通过电话、电子邮件和社交媒体冒充政府代表。通过套话和威胁，他们设法骗取了受害者的金钱和个人信息。随着疫苗接种速度的加快，出现了新的诈骗方式，即要求人们自掏腰包或提供个人信息来作为预约疫苗的交换。
