Scam of The Week

A new scam is making the rounds, and it starts with a simple, unexpected text message from an unfamiliar number. It might say something casual like “Hey, how are you?” or “Are you coming to the BBQ later?" messages designed to seem friendly and harmless.

This week’s scam involves a deceptive email that looks like a legitimate Apple iCloud Calendar invitation. It’s sent from a real Apple email address and seems to reference a purchase invoice.

You get a surprise text that seems to be from Amazon. It says your recent purchase didn’t pass a “routine quality inspection” or has been recalled.

Scammers are getting smarter, and their newest trick is designed to hit you right where it hurts—your wallet and your ability to drive.
