You Won a Prize (NOT)

June 24, 2022 by Robert Eyler

If you get an email or text message that say something like “You have won a prize” or “I have won the lotto and I want to split it with you” Unless you have registered for a drawing at that store it should be safe: however, before you click on any links in the email/text look at where it is coming from. If the email says hi@abc.com and you see the return email address as hi@acb.com. Then this is a scam email do not click on any links on that page or reply. Then delete it.

If you do click on the link for the prize you won is a headache of straightening out the mess the gave you.

Stay safe in the internet and real world.

Then ask your friends for money by saying I am at place but I got in to a big jam and I am in jail can you send me $XXX to bail me out.

If You Scanned That QR Code From the Super Bowl (or Any QR Code), the FBI Has a Warning for You

February 27, 2022 by Robert Eyler

QR code can be a good use for business to make it easy for the customers to view menus , store maps , and to get coupons.

The beauty of a QR code is that instead of asking someone to remember a website, you simply embed it in the code. When they scan the code, it takes them directly to whatever webpage you want.

Because of the easy of getting the QR codes the Cybercriminals are taking advantage of this technology by directing QR code scans to malicious sites to steal victim data, embedding malware to gain access to the victim’s device, and redirecting payment for Cybercriminal use and / or steal your data on your device.

If there is QR code in a place by like an ATM or place that make no since DO NOT scan them.

Scams Alart

November 28, 2021 by Robert Eyler

With all of the online shopping and shipping be careful with scammers and fake web sites.

If you get a phone call / text / email that is stating that your card was charged $XXX.XX for a high price item (Apple MacBook) order id #AMZ### on ##/##/### please call ###-###-####. DO NOT click or call the number or email or text. If you have a question, go to the website or call Amazon.

If you get a pop up on your screen saying that your computer may have a virus or there is a major issue you need to call us at ###-###-#### to get this fix. The same DO NOT CALL or text or email them. Call someone that you know and trust.

The next thing to look out for is if you get a call stating they are from your bank and there has been unusual activity on your card. If they ask you for your bank card number DO NOT GIVE IT. Just tell them you will call the bank back. ONLY use the phone number on the back of your card and NOT the one they give you.
