KnowBe4 Scam of the Week: Watch Out For Popular Event Phishing Scams
Heads up! The bad guys are now trying to trick you into buying fake event tickets well above face-value. It’s happening right now with the World Cup, but can happen with any popular event.
Here’s how it works: They get you by offering last-minute ticket deals on a phony website, and then steal your credit card information. Don’t fall for this!
Only purchase tickets from official sources! Don’t click on links in event-themed emails, texts, or instant messages. If you are sent a suspicious email, delete the email or follow the reporting procedures put in place by your organization.
Let’s stay safe out there!
Stop, Look, and Think. Don’t be fooled.
