Back on July 4th, I saw a Komando email about power scams. I decided to see what is of value so that I can try to deal with the massive amount of spam in this email account of mine.
In the alert, its not Spam but quite real. While I’m posting it late, it can still be very valuable as the summer season in the states is in full swing.
The scammers will tell you that power will be cut off if you don’t pay within the next few minutes. Payment via Crypto and gift cards are also signs that you’re dealing with a scammer.
There are other things to watch for, so make sure you read this article titled Energy and power company warning: 3 signs you’re talking to a scammer for the complete details.
Its better late than never getting the word and passing it around.
Speaking of passing it around, this weekend’s Throwback Saturday Night talked about Scams in our Security hour. We talked about the video we posted in this blog post and we covered a very interesting call you might hear on your Kim Komando show this weekend.
Scams have been quite high since the pandemic, and there is no shortage of them slowing down. Let’s do our part on making sure that we’re as protected as possible and pass the word on what is out there.
I hope that this finds you well, and we’ll be in touch real soon!
