Remote Work Scams Surge: How To Stay Safe Online
Cyber trickery is raging now that millions of Americans are working remotely. Here are some tips to avoid being duped:
* Verify that you’ve got the right person when reaching out to any publicly published help or support lines.
* Be on the alert for phishing attempts, including social media, text, or phone scams.
* Never click links in emails, texts, chat messages, etc. unless you are 100% sure you know who or where it came from. Even then, check again.
* Never answer calls from a number you do not recognize. If they have something important to say, they will leave a message.
* Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. will never call you because your licenses are out of date. If someone calls claiming to be from one of these companies regarding an outdated license, hang up.
