Verizon Customers Beware: Watch Out for Phishing Scams!
If you’re a loyal Verizon customer, it’s crucial to stay vigilant. Recent reports from cybersecurity firm Fortra have revealed an active phishing campaign targeting Verizon customers. Scammers are sending deceptive emails, posing as Verizon, in an attempt to trick recipients into divulging sensitive personal information. This can lead to unauthorized access to accounts, fraudulent SIM card orders, and even financial theft.
Here’s what you need to know:
– The scammers have found a way to bypass security filters, allowing their emails to land in your inbox instead of the spam folder.
– These emails appear as legitimate Verizon invoices, prompting recipients to click on a link that could compromise their login credentials.
– Clicking on the link may also expose your device to malware.
What can you do to protect yourself?
– Hover over the sender’s name in suspicious emails to verify its authenticity.
– If in doubt, contact Verizon directly using their official phone number – never click on unsolicited links.
– Be cautious of emails threatening immediate action or containing spelling and grammatical errors.
