  1. beware of charity scams — turkey earthquake

    Every time disasters happen, humanity comes as one. Setting aside our differences, we embrace one another and help the nations in need. However, this also gives scammers the opportunity to take advantage of people's generosity by creating fake charities or donation schemes to make easy money.

     

     

    These charity fraudulent schemes have many forms, including fake emails that trick people into providing personal information, social media accounts that impersonate others, and videos on TikTok donations. Beware of these scams!

  3. valentines day scams to watch out

    katrin_tica – Mon, 06 Feb 2023 12:00:25 GMT – 0

     

     

    We all want to make every moment special for our loved ones, and we go over the top on special holidays like Valentine's day. It is a day of expressing love, care, and affection to our romantic interests. We exchange gifts, cards, and flowers to show our love, and we often celebrate with a special meal.

     

     

    This gives the perfect opportunity for scammers to take advantage of the situation. Scammers create fake websites that offer delivery of flowers or gifts, fake dating profile, or phishing scams via text or email. All these just to get your personal information and your money.

     

     

    To avoid these scams, be cautious of unsolicited messages, never give out personal information, and only make purchases from reputable sources. Here are the Valentine’s Day Scam Websites found by our Trend Micro researchers.
