Don't get caught out
Scams are getting more sophisticated and if you are caught unaware it is easy to be fooled into clicking a link - even if you are tech and media savvy. One of the latest scams to do the rounds is a message, supposedly from Amazon, that comes through as a text to your mobile.
While this may initially appear similar to some other scams circulating, the clever twist with this one is often the timing of the text. One Nottinghamshire man said that he'd received the supposed 'warning' at 1.13 in the morning. The tech savvy family man, said: "I received the text in the early hours. I would normally be alert to such scams but because I was half asleep and a bit groggy when I picked it up, I nearly clicked on it.
The consumer organisation said that when experts entered their details, they were taken to another "convincing" fraudulent webpage asking for a name, date of birth, mobile number, home address and email address. This is where personal data will be stolen.
