Beware of these Halloween
Identity Theft Scams
WITH HALLOWEEN JUST AROUND THE CORNER, EVERYONE’S THINKING ABOUT COSTUMES AND CANDY (AND THE IDENTITY THIEVES HOPE YOU WON’T NOTICE THEM)
Halloween is a prime season for the identity thief. While you will not recognize one in any particular costume, they are usually hiding in plain sight. Identity thieves and scammers use these busy seasons to strike when everyone’s attention is diverted elsewhere.
Halloween-related identity theft scares are real, and are a danger to you and your loved ones. Do not fall for these common Halloween scams.
THE E-COMMERCE SCAM
If you receive a suspicious email, phone call, or text message regarding a costume that you never ordered or a Halloween event you did not buy a ticket for, do not click on any links or share any information. This could be bait for you to share your personal data, like your credit card, phone number or home address. This can open you up for identity theft.
TERROR ON THE TELEPHONE
Telephone scams are a dime a dozen, most of which target the senior community. There are the virtual kidnappers who demand ransom to release a supposed captive (and tortured) loved one. There are the IRS impostors that threaten you will be arrested or deported if you deny an alleged tax debt. There is the self-described police claim that you will face a penalty for supposedly missing jury duty. Swindlers pose as utility company reps who say your service will be terminated because of unpaid bills. Know that these calls are scams, and if you are unsure, call the source directly.
SCAREWARE IS EXACTLY WHAT ITS NAME SUGGESTS
Scareware got its moniker for its pop-up warnings of nonexistent computer infections, aiming to scare you into buying useless or potentially dangerous “protection” software. Tech support scammers call and claim that your computer is infected with a dangerous virus. You can be sure they will call you again warning of more viruses, trying to sell you software you do not need, and even worse, they may try to harvest information from your computer.
With Halloween in full swing, it is a reminder to take extra precaution to protect your identity and avoid these scary Halloween scams. Remember, keep a watchful eye on your accounts, shop with trusted retailers, and at the end of the season, be sure to shred any and all sensitive information to keep your identity where it belongs – with you!
