Scam of The Week

Imagine receiving an unexpected email from a well-known organization, such as Costco or Marriott, letting you know that you've been selected for an exclusive opportunity.

In this week's scam, cybercriminals are using fake purchase alerts to target Apple users. You receive what appears to be a genuine Apple email that says, "Your Apple Account information has been updated." It states that someone used your account to purchase an iPhone and includes a phone number to call to cancel the order. Since you didn't authorize this purchase, you may be tempted to call the number immediately.

In this week’s scam, you receive an email that looks like it’s from DocuSign, a software that allows you to sign and send official documents online. The email doesn’t contain many details, but it claims that you urgently need to sign a document. It looks official, and even contains DocuSign’s logo, along with a large yellow button labeled "Review Document."

In this scam, you receive a text message that appears to be from Amazon. The message claims that an item you bought was of poor quality or has been recalled.
