Scammers get creative with their phrasing, but a few phrases that we’ve seen repeated include:
“Immediate action required to avoid penalties!”
“Make BIG money working from home!”
“Act now!” or “Claim it now!”
“Confirm your identity to secure your account.”
“Exclusive offer! Act fast before it’s gone!”
“This is the IRS. You owe back taxes.”
Look out for any sense of urgency, and if you get a weird feeling, always verify the information before acting. Most importantly, never click or download attachments unless you’re certain of the sender.
