What's inside
The full text
- 1
"Your package is on hold."
Fake delivery texts asking for a small fee or your address. Check in the shipper's own app.
- 2
The boss needs gift cards.
An email or text "from the owner" asking you to buy cards for clients. Call them to check.
- 3
"There's a problem with your order."
Fake store emails about a refund or locked account. Go to the store's site yourself.
- 4
Deals that are too good.
Fake shops and ads with huge discounts. If you've never heard of the store, look it up first.
- 5
Party invites and e-cards.
Holiday attachments and "see who sent you a card" links can install bad software.
Check it yourself.
Open the store, bank or shipping app directly, never through the link. Not sure? Forward it to check@scan.fluxlabs.net.
