As more people shop online using various websites and payment methods, the risk of falling victim to scams rises. Fraudsters are increasingly posing as companies like retail stores, banks, or credit card providers to trick consumers.
With personal profiles being shared more often, hackers have more opportunities to access sensitive information, such as email addresses and other contact details. Scammers are also using more sophisticated “phishing” techniques, making their messages look almost identical to real business communications.
These scammers can impersonate legitimate companies or banks and send fake alerts that trick consumers into revealing sensitive information like account numbers or passwords. It’s important to stay cautious of any unexpected emails or phone messages that urge you to act quickly by clicking a link or responding. Always double-check before sharing any personal details to avoid falling into their traps.
