Scammers are sending messages that claim your bank, payment app, email, or delivery account has been locked due to “suspicious activity.” These messages push urgency and include links that lead to fake login pages designed to steal credentials. A key red flag: legitimate companies do not ask you to verify accounts through random links or texts.
As digital payments, deliveries, and online accounts increase, scammers are exploiting fear and urgency. These fake alerts are one of the fastest-growing fraud tactics right now.
