Stay Alert for Messaging Scams

Summary

Learn how to spot and stop messaging scams by protecting your privacy, verifying senders, and reporting suspicious accounts.

Body

Scammers use messaging apps, texts, and social media to send dangerous links and fake attachments. Their goal is to trick you into clicking, downloading malware, or giving away sensitive information.

How to Protect Yourself

🔒 Protect Your Privacy

  • Limit who can see your profile details, photos, and activity status.
  • Avoid posting job details (like your title or coworkers’ names).

✅ Verify Senders

  • If a message comes from someone you don’t know, verify the sender first.
  • Don’t open links or attachments from unknown contacts.

🚫 Block and Report

  • Block suspicious accounts and report them in the app.
  • If someone impersonates a coworker or requests sensitive info, report it to IT Security immediately.

Remember

Think before you click, the Cyberpunks want you to act fast without checking.
