Phishing Scams

For years, scammers have tried to steal sensitive personal and financial information by falsely claiming that recipients of their emails are eligible for an unexpected tax refund. 

According to this email, which purports to be from “Admin” at your email service provider, you have a new voice message waiting.

Some scam attempts are so poorly executed that they are almost entertaining. This rather lame attempt to steal your Google Account login details fits into that category.

This email, which was supposedly sent by Microsoft, warns that your Outlook account has been suspended due to a security issue. 

Yet another wave of Amazon phishing scam emails is hitting inboxes. The emails, which feature the Amazon logo, claim that the company was unable to process a recent order you made.

According to this email, which purports to be from Yahoo, your mailbox has exceeded its storage limit and you need to “re-validate” your account.

This message, which claims to be from “Email Protection Services”, warns that some apps you’ve allowed to access your account have not been verified by Google. 

According to this supposed warning message, which purports to be from ‘Email Account Protection”,  there was an unusual sign-in on your email account.

Scammers are distributing fake admin notifications recommending that you add a recovery number to your email account.
