October – Be CYBERSAFE – AVOID PHISHING SCAMS
Protect your information from scams impersonating government and law enforcement agencies
Cyber criminals are advancing in their phishing scams by using various tactics to trick victims into believing that a scam is legitimate. A common tactic used is impersonating a government or law enforcement agency. Cyber criminals impersonate these agencies to trick people into offering personal information or money. Cyber criminals often use a phone call, email or text message to connect with their victims and use company or personal information (found on company websites or personal social platforms) to make the contact seem trustworthy. It is important to spot the signs of these crafty phishing scams and how you can best protect yourself from losing personal information or money.
