Just
a reminder, as we near the holiday seasons, that we will start to see an
up-tick in phishing, email scams, and scam phone calls.
Be
mindful not to click on links in emails from people you are not familiar with.
If you have doubt about the legitimacy of the email and the link, please
contact that person to verify the email.
Emails
from FedEx, Amazon, UPS, and the USPS informing you that a package cannot be
delivered and to click on the enclosed link and fill out some information will
begin to show up in a few weeks.
E-mails
concerning your Amazon account being terminated due to unauthorized activity
unless you call this number and verify your account information have been seen
last week.
We
have also seen emails, supposedly from banks and insurance companies, about
issues with a user account. The emails look very authentic with logo,
address, and email link that do indeed link back to the proper locations.
Again, if you have a question or feel that this might be a scam, please contact
the company for verification.
Ransomware
attacks are also on the rise. It is recommended that you do not comply
with hackers if you fall victim to a ransomware attack.
Please
make sure your anti-virus software is up to date.
Calls
from Microsoft about your operating system needing updates and they can remote
in and help with that are scams to access your computer and information.
Please
be mindful and if you have any doubt, stop and rethink the situation.
Thank
you
