What\u2019s worse than a surprise call from a law enforcement official telling you\u00a0to pay a fine or be forced to serve time? Providing your personal information and paying that fine only to find out that it was all a scam. You didn\u2019t miss jury duty; you didn\u2019t commit a crime \u2014 you were just tricked into thinking that you did.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sound unbelievable? It\u2019s more likely than you\u2019d think.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who <\/span><\/b>A<\/span><\/b>re <\/span><\/b>Y<\/span><\/b>ou<\/span><\/b> C<\/span><\/b>alling<\/span><\/b> C<\/span><\/b>riminal<\/span><\/b>, <\/span><\/b>C<\/span><\/b>riminal<\/span><\/b>?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to ZDNet<\/span>1<\/span>, the FBI released a warning about scammers impersonating government officials or law enforcement agencies to steal personal information and money from unsuspecting people.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After acquiring phone numbers and names from real users, scammers use fake credentials from well-known law enforcement agencies to contact victims. Under the guise of these officials, scammers claim that the user\u2019s identity was used in a crime and ask them to provide their social security number and date of birth for verification. The fraudsters will also call or text about apparently missed jury duty, missed court dates, warrants out for arrest, or other local fines that require payment to be solved.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These criminals demand payment in multiple forms, but the most common are prepaid cards, wire transfers, and cash sent through mail or through cryptocurrency ATMs. If victims do not pay these fines or provide their personal information, the scammers in disguise will threaten them with potential prosecution or arrest.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Identify Phishing Scams Over the Phone<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The FBI states that no law enforcement agency will ever contact you asking for money, but if you\u2019re still unsure whether you\u2019re being scammed, here are a few <\/span>more phishing tips<\/span><\/a> that can help:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Confirm the source<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unsolicited phone calls or texts are best avoided altogether or confirmed with a second source. Verify the caller\u2019s identity with the organization they claim they represent. Ask for a name and position and make it clear you will be following up to verify their identity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep personal information private<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Do not reveal any personal or financial information over the phone, through text, or through a link provided in a text message.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lack of personalization<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Generic greetings that do not address you by name, especially when asking you to verify your identity or pay a fine, are a definite indicator that you may be being scammed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spelling and layout<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Any strange grammar or spelling mistakes in a text message can be signs that this is someone impersonating an official agency, company, or higher-up to scam you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to <\/span><\/b>I<\/span><\/b>dentify<\/span><\/b> O<\/span><\/b>ther<\/span><\/b> T<\/span><\/b>ypes<\/span><\/b> of <\/span><\/b>P<\/span><\/b>hishing<\/span><\/b> S<\/span><\/b>cams<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although scammers try to trick users over the phone, phishing scams can also happen <\/span>over email.<\/span> In addition to the tactics mentioned above, here are some extra tips on how to detect and avoid <\/span>phishing emails<\/span><\/a>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A sender address that\u2019s just a bit off<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Cybercriminals will often impersonate well-known brands or individuals by using fraudulent email addresses with just a few alterations of letters or characters. An example is an email address that appears as \u201cbank0famerica.con.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hyperlinks<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you receive a message or email with a link, hover over the link without clicking on it. This will allow you to see a link preview. If the URL looks suspicious or doesn\u2019t match up with the content in the email, do not interact with it and delete the entire message.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Attachments<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Be cautious of any attachment in an email. Scammers often use attachments as a sneaky way to deliver viruses and malware onto unsuspecting people\u2019s devices.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Protect Yourself From Phishing Attacks<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Phishing scams<\/span> can be deceitful, especially with the added pressure of a seemingly real (but definitely fake) government official or law enforcement agency accusing you of breaking the law. However, by following the tips outlined above, you\u2019ll be able to spot these scams from a mile away and <\/span>stay safer online<\/span><\/a>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
