Listen "Warnings About Unsubscribing to Emails & Business Email Compromise Scams"
Episode Synopsis
Shawn Dyer, Senior Fraud Specialist at Montecito Bank & Trust shares the following warnings:
1. Don't unsubscribe to an unwanted email by clicking on a link you receive in an email or text. It can be another way for scammers to install malware on your computer. Instead, go to the company's legitimate website and safely unsubscribe.
2. If you are a business owner, or work at a business and receive an invoice via email, asking you to send payments to a new account, be very, very cautious. The email may look like it came from the person you usually do business with but look closely at who it's from. A very small email address variation from the sender is a RED FLAG! Pick up the phone and call your contact to confirm the email really came from them.
