Oops! Looks like you've clicked a scam link

If you've landed on this page, it means you've just clicked on a potentially harmful link, often referred to as a "scam" link.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Scammers use various tactics to lure unsuspecting individuals into clicking on deceptive links, hoping to steal personal information or infect devices with malware.

How to spot scam links:

  1. Check the URL: Scammers often use URLs that look similar to legitimate sites but have slight variations or misspellings. If you're not sure that the link is legitimate, just google the company's website instead.
  2. Look for red flags: Be cautious of urgent messages, offers that seem too good to be true, or requests for personal information. Scammers will often attempt to invoke a sense of urgency to make you panic, and give your information away without thinking.
  3. Verify the source: If the link is from an unfamiliar sender or seems out of context, don't click on it. Instead, reach out to the sender through a trusted channel to confirm its authenticity.

What to do if you've clicked a scam link:

  1. Close the window: If you've already clicked on a suspicious link, close the browser window immediately to prevent further interaction with the scam site.
  2. Scan your device: Run a thorough antivirus scan on your device to check for any malware or viruses that may have been downloaded.
  3. Change passwords: If you've entered any sensitive information on the scam site, change your passwords for all relevant accounts immediately.
  4. Follow up with your bank: If you've entered any banking information, such as bank account details, credit/debit card details, or the password you use for online banking, contact your bank and inform them immediately.

Scam links are designed to deceive and exploit unsuspecting individuals. By staying vigilant and following these simple tips, you can protect yourself from falling victim to online scams. Remember, when in doubt, it's better to err on the side of caution and avoid clicking on suspicious links altogether.
