With less than a week until Christmas – the scammers are pulling out all the stops...
Consumer Reports has some classics to keep an eye out for in the next few days:
• Travel warnings: Watch out for unexpected hotel or flight confirmation or cancellation notices. They’re designed to trick consumers into clicking unsafe links to “stop” reservations you never made in the first place.
• Festive downloads: Beware of holiday-themed articles, music, screensavers and greetings. If it involves downloading or installing – skip it. Better safe than sorry.
• Special deliveries: Don’t accept notices about delivery delays or confirmations on unordered packages; phishers often pose as well-known retailers or shipping companies to rip you off.
