Cyber Paranoid or Prepared?
Are you paranoid or are cybercriminals out to get you? Scammers pivot to a new strategy when the old methods no longer work. Be prepared and you have nothing to fear.
- Be skeptical of a request for sensitive information from an unsolicited contact.
- Scammers fake caller ID and email sender information to mask the true source, so don’t rely on this to validate identity.
- Verify requests through a known telephone number or email address rather than the contact information provided.
- Do not respond to suspicious emails, texts, or calls.
