While the TV station employee didn’t fall victim, it was a sign of the growing prevalence of phishing scams.
These sick schemes involve a cybercriminal tricking someone into handing over their personal information.
A scammer then often goes on a wild spending spree, racking up hundreds or thousands in purchases on their victim’s card.
There are several ways you can protect yourself from such scams.
First, stay vigilant. Companies don’t often call their customers so if any company calls or messages you unexpectedly, be suspicious.
If you get a random alert, don’t respond – and be aware that scammers often create a sense of urgency, pushing victims to act fast.
