What Are Phishing Frauds?
Phishing scams are fraudulent attempts to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information such as passwords, financial details, or personal data. Scammers impersonate trusted organizations, services, or individuals through deceptive messages.
These scams commonly occur via email, text messages, phone calls, or fake websites designed to appear legitimate. Once information is obtained, it may be used for financial theft, identity fraud, or further scams.
Common Types of Phishing Frauds
Email Phishing
Fraudulent emails appear to come from trusted companies or institutions, urging recipients to click links or download attachments that steal login credentials or personal information.
SMS and Messaging Phishing (Smishing)
Scammers send deceptive text messages claiming urgent issues such as account problems, deliveries, or security alerts, leading victims to malicious links or fake support numbers.
Website Spoofing
Fake websites are designed to closely resemble legitimate services such as banks or online platforms. Victims unknowingly enter sensitive details that are captured by scammers.
Voice Phishing (Vishing)
Victims receive phone calls from individuals posing as banks, government agencies, or service providers, pressuring them to disclose confidential information.
Social Media and Account Impersonation
Fraudsters impersonate friends, companies, or support teams on social media platforms to gain trust and extract sensitive information or payments.
