Today is the first day of National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2015, and we have a phishing scam to warn you about.
Some people have received an email that someone has shared a “secured file via Google Drive” with them. It’s a scam. Look at this screenshot:
Questions to ask yourself if you see email like this:
- Who’s Rob and why is he sending me a file out of the blue?
- What went wrong with the logo for Google Drive?
- Where does the link to “open” the file lead?
If you inspect the link to which the Open button leads you, you’d know right away that this is a bogus email:
Doesn’t look like a link to a Google Drive document, does it?
This scammer tried to trick people by saying it’s a secured file. He wants you to think, “If it’s secured, it must be important, so I’ll click!” Don’t fall for it. See this scam, just delete it.
Think B4 U click!
