Fall has arrived, but unlike tree leaves, scammers don’t fall. On the contrary, if we are to believe the number of requests they make, we could even be led to believe that they are multiplying.
SMS, calls, emails… Their methods are multiple and are becoming ever more perfect, making the task complicated for those who are victims. Whether for emails or SMS, it is not always easy to detect a scam at first glance.
By email, the most common practice used in this type of scam is phishing, also known as phishing.
