The Evolution of Phishing Scams
Phishing scams are more convincing than ever, often using personalized details to trick you into clicking malicious links or revealing personal information.
What to Watch For in 2025:
Fake Delivery Notifications: Scammers send emails or texts about fake Amazon or FedEx deliveries to steal your payment information.
Bank Alerts and Account Suspensions: Fraudulent emails claiming unusual activity on your bank account, urging you to verify your identity.
Social Media Phishing: Direct messages from hacked accounts containing suspicious links.
How to Protect Yourself
Gift card scams are still popular, but scammers are getting more creative. They now pretend to be trusted people—like your boss, grandchild, or even tech support agents.
Common Scenarios in 2025:
Impersonation Emails: Scammers impersonate someone you know, asking for a favor that involves buying gift cards.
Fake Tech Support Calls: Scammers call pretending to be from Apple or Microsoft, claiming your device is compromised and requesting payment via gift cards.
Social Media or Dating Scams: Fake online relationships that ask for financial help through gift cards.
Tech support scams are no longer just annoying pop-ups. Scammers now call directly, claiming to be from trusted companies like Microsoft, Apple, or even your internet service provider.
