How to Avoid Package Delivery Phishing Scams | The Twelfth Day of Scam-mas

Author: Avast - Bewertung: 2x - Views:9

On the twelfth day of Scam-mas, the holidays may be winding down — but scammers are just getting started. Deceivus launches a wave of fake delivery alerts: “Your package is held,” “Missed delivery,” “Click to reschedule.” These phishing texts surge during peak shipping season, tricking people into clicking malicious links or giving away personal information. Fortunately, the townsfolk have Avast Scam Guardian by their side, flagging suspicious messages and teaching them how to stay vigilant. Before you click any delivery notification, pause, double-check the sender, and keep your holiday season scam-free with Avast.
