Security Starts with You: How to Help Outsmart Today’s Most Common Scams

How you can help stop scammers:

• Raise the alarm. Report phishing emails or impersonation scams directly to the companies under attack. This gives them a chance to alert other users and stay ahead of the threat.
  
• Notify the real people. If you see someone’s name or identity attached to a project they’re not involved with, reach out to them or their representatives.
• ‍Report fake accounts. Many imposter social media profiles only get removed after multiple reports, so your effort can make a real difference. These fake accounts can look identical aside from the number of followers and slight name alterations. If you have just been followed by a famous person that only has a few hundred followers, take a closer look. This excludes satire and spoof accounts that are clearly identified. ‍
• Avoid risky links. Even savvy tech users have been caught by clever phishing emails. Instead of clicking links in emails, go to the company’s official site yourself. As the saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you are unsure, don’t click. ‍
• Double-check URLs. Scammers are getting better at mimicking websites and handles. Look closely for tiny differences like added dots, underscores, or slight misspellings.
