FALCON'S VIEW

BEWARE OF SCAMS
 

 

FAKE SECURITY ALERTS --
        With numerous transactions occurring at the same time, scammers might attempt tricking you into thinking your account or device is at risk, prompting you to take immediate action.
        Slow down and research before acting!

FAKE INVOICES --
        Fake invoices often include unexpected charges or services not previously discussed.  Fake invoices may contain bank account details or payment instructions that differ from the usual information you have on file with the company.
        Always verify payment and company details with a known validated contact method for the company.

FAKE GIFT CARDS --

        Be extra cautious about where you buy gift cards and who you buy them for.  Buying gift cards through unsolicited emails or unfamiliar websites leaves you susceptible to fraud and theft.  Likewise, an unexpected email from a friend or co-worker asking you to purchase gift cards on their behalf should raise a red flag.

FAKE PROMOTIONS --
        Increased spending on gifts and travel creates an ideal environment for financial phishing scams.  Attackers may send messages about false transaction alerts, fraudulent charges, or special promotions requiring users to verify or redeem their account information.

FAKE SHOPPING SITES --
        Scammers set up fake websites that offer deals on popular holiday gifts.  These sites often take payment, but do not deliver the goods.  This can include tactics such as fake order confirmations, shipping updates, or holiday deals.
        Slow down and double check that the URL is correct and makes sense!

FAKE CHARITY SCAMS --

        Charity scams often emerge around the holidays or during times of crisis, exploiting people's goodwill to steal money or personal information.  The scam can evoke your kindness to consider providing a donation through a website link or call from unsolicited notification.
