More “How not to get scammed”
This is a copy of another recent email I came across in my SPAM folder. It got filtered out as Spam but I am copying the text just in case for people to see what these types of Scams look like. Everything is fake. It is designed to appear as an invoice from Life Lock for $260 which is being renewed. I don’t have LifeLock. The purpose is to get someone to wonder if this is real, if they are really being charged and to call the “HelpLine”
If you call them, they will “phish” information out of you, like your address, credit card, or bank info to “fix” this. Do that and you probably will lose money. Be careful, be on guard.
If you have any doubts about a mysterious “charge” on some invoice that you don’t recognize I would suggest you call your bank and speak to someone there, or go to your bank yourself. Don’t call the “Help Line” whatever you do. The other end of the line will be the scammers who will try to sweet talk you into giving them your information.
These type of scams especially are targeted at the elderly. American lost 3 billion dollars to scams in 2023.
