Latest Scams to Watch Out For
- AI Voice Cloning Scams: Criminals are leveraging advanced AI technologies to mimic the voices of loved ones or company executives, often to facilitate urgent money transfers. Always verify such requests through a separate communication channel. 🔍
- Fake “Tech Support” Pop-Ups: Beware of malicious browser alerts claiming your device is compromised. These pop-ups may urge you to call a fraudulent support number. It’s crucial never to share remote access or payment information with unverified sources. 🚫
- QR Code Phishing: Fraudulent QR codes can appear on parking meters, flyers, or within emails, redirecting users to counterfeit login pages. Always scan with caution and utilize QR scanner apps that offer preview features to avoid falling victim. 📱
Pro Tip: Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all your accounts and ensure that your software is regularly updated to patch vulnerabilities.
