Scammers are still at it—that’s the simplest way to put it. Every day, I get emails claiming I’ve won a gift card and just need to click the link to verify some details [cue eye roll].
I also receive emails notifying me that my subscription has been renewed for a certain amount, with instructions to call if I want to cancel. Additionally, there’s the common phishing text claiming they couldn’t deliver my package, asking me to click a link to reschedule. And then, there’s the alarming phone call claiming a warrant has been issued for my arrest.
Always be on alert. Never trust, always verify. Never click links in text messages or emails if they come from people you do not know. Closely examine all messages and look for clues of legitimacy.
Stay safe!
