Authorities and organizations worldwide are issuing warnings about a surge in various types of scams targeting individuals through phone calls, text messages, and fake websites. These scams include phishing attempts, malware infections, and fraudulent impersonations of trusted entities such as banks, police, and toll collection services. For instance, the Federal Reserve has cautioned against scammers posing as officials to extract personal financial information, while SunPass has alerted users about fake unpaid toll messages. In the Netherlands, a police campaign using a fake webshop attracted 125,000 visitors, highlighting the vulnerability of consumers to online fraud. Similarly, in Brazil, the 'selfie scam' manipulates victims into sharing biometric data for unauthorized financial transactions. The Banco de España has flagged a new malware, TrickMo, capable of stealing sensitive data from mobile devices. Additionally, 416,582 credit card fraud cases were reported in the US in 2024, underscoring the global scale of these threats. Authorities emphasize vigilance, recommending measures like verifying the legitimacy of contacts, avoiding suspicious links, and using two-factor authentication to safeguard against these threats.
