Don't Get Scammed
Social Media Scam Alert!
Don't fall victim to a hacked or cloned friend account! This scam involves the scammer contacting you pretending to be a friend locked out of their account and they need your help to get reset. They will ask you to provide them with the two-factor authentication (2FA) code being sent to your phone number or email, but it's your account they're resetting. How to avoid getting scammed by a hacked or cloned account:
- Never share two-factor authentication codes.
- Call or message the person using the number you have in your phone or email contacts or via a different platform to confirm it's a legitimate request.
- Change your account passwords. If you receive an email or text with a two-factor authentication request and know it wasn't you who made the request, consider this a sign that someone is trying to access your account.
Scammers Posing As Deputies!
Please beware: multiple customers have reported being contacted by scammers posing as deputies and demanding payment via prepaid cards, cryptocurrency, or cash to avoid arrest. Please be vigilant and protect yourself. Report any suspicious activity to your local law enforcement.
