NEW CASES OPEN: #004 & #005
Scammers use different tactics, but the goal is always the same: gain your trust before taking your money or information.
CASE #004 • The Marketplace Buyer
"I accidentally paid you too much. Send the extra money back."
The original payment is fake. The refund you send is real.
CASE #005 • The Verification Code Trap
"We just sent a security code to your phone. Please read it back to verify your identity."
That code wasn't sent for verification. It was sent because someone is trying to access your account. Remember: never share a verification code with anyone.
Can you spot the red flags?
