FAKE DELIVERY NOTIFICATION

Scammers send you messages, Whatsapp, and emails and tell you that if you click on this link we will deliver valuable stuff to your address freely. Sometimes they send an OTP and request you to click on this link and type OTP to deliver you so and so valuable items like mobile, laptop, etc. but they can grab all information from your mobile or laptop. 

They may use your bank accounts and other many accounts to earn forbidden income. They may blackmail you if they found some fallen moral images in the grabbed information. 

CHARITY OR DONATION SCAMS

Scammers send you a link and request to donate a very little amount to their organization. But in reality, they want your and your business’s sensitive data. They request a little amount that no one can refuse to pay and show very huge achievement for mankind from your donated amount.

 For this purpose, they use the name of reputable NGOs to get your attention to their links. They also share a story about their projects about education, health, and philanthropy. They use different AI tools to write or record the best content and other psychological tricks.

 FAKE PURCHASE AND INVOICE CONFIRMATION

Sometimes you will receive a message, email, Whatsapp, or message from any other platforms that you have purchased such items please confirm your address, and mobile number by clicking on the given link. Sometimes they send an OTP instead of a link. 

These all are scams and phishing to grab your money and data. They use many AI tools to send these messages. No calls and messages can be received by the sender due to AI tools.

BEST STEP TO PROTECT FROM PHISHING

1.         First of all, think whenever you click on the email, check the spelling of the sender’s email. They send an email similar to well-known companies. For example, they send you an email similar to PayPal, but when you read carefully the spelling of the email address you will find a change in the spelling. The spelling may be paypaal, paaypal, or payppal, instead of the correct name.

2.         Make sure that your window and other security software is up to date because hacking previous versions of every software is easy than up to dated software. 

 3.        Protect your all account using multi-step verification, for example, if you open an application to transfer money then always activate OTP before every transaction like two-step verification in the Google accounts.

4.         Avoid clicking on every pop-up message. Mostly they send pop-up messages with the request to click, reply, or other offers.

5.         Immediate complaint to your country’s cyber security department if you feel any suspicious loss in your social media or any other accounts to avoid more damage and blackmail in the future.
