Authorities and individuals have raised alarms over a surge in scam activities globally. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warned the public about scammers impersonating its employees to steal money. In Britain, fraudsters are targeting individuals through emails, leading to financial losses, including a reported incident where a victim lost £150 in a draining gift card scam at Sainsbury's. Social media platforms are also being exploited, with numerous reports of fake token claim tweets, and individuals impersonating well-known personalities on platforms like Discord and Telegram to deceive users. Additionally, there are warnings about text phishing scams, emphasizing the need for heightened vigilance.
