Beware of fake coupon offers to Alberta. You can lose money

If a user clicks on a link in the message, the website will ask them questions such as “How did you find out about this offer?” And “Are you a regular customer of Albert supermarkets?”. Immediately after replying, the website will prompt you to forward the message. “Of course, your loved one would not expect a fraudulent message from you. That is the success of this fraud. It is simple and uses the relationship and trust between you and the person to whom you forward the message,” warns Avast.

What is phishing?
Phishing is an attempt by computer fraudsters to obtain your sensitive personal information, such as passwords, credit card information, social security numbers, or bank account numbers. It spreads through fraudulent email messages or redirects to fake websites.

If you fill in your personal information, which a cyber criminal will want from you after the next redirection, you should immediately block the payment card, otherwise you may lose money.

“Once you’ve resolved this issue, turn your attention to the rest of the information you provided. Change passwords and emails immediately on all platforms you use. The first thing a criminal will do is that in addition to your primary email address and password to it will try other accounts where you could use this password and e-mail, “informs Avast on his blog.

“Unfortunately, you will no longer do anything by passing your e-mail address and name to unknown criminals. So it is possible that various fraudulent e-mails will appear in your inbox,” warns Avast.
