Know What To Do To Prevent These Phishing Scams
Here are a few points to take note of:-
- No one will ever ask for your password. Disregard any emails or calls or messages that ask of you, your password. Ignore and mark as spam all suspicious activity.
- Companies take time, and no one will give you such a short window of 15 minutes as these spammers are stating
- One must always use 2-factor authentication (2FA) on their account. This will keep you safer as without the code you won’t be able to get in even with the password.
- Enter only from the site and put in your credentials there.
