BBB alerts public to text scams using new technology, 95.3 MNC reports

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is warning people to be cautious of text scams, as scammers are utilizing new technology to target individuals. According to reports from 2024, it is expected to be another record year for phishing scams.

There are several red flags to watch out for when it comes to phishing scams, including messages claiming problems with your account, requests to confirm financial information, urges to click on links, and messages with spelling or grammatical errors.

To protect yourself from falling victim to these scams, the BBB recommends not clicking on links in unexpected emails or texts, avoiding opening messages from anonymous senders, and disregarding calls for immediate action. If you have any doubts about a potential scam, it is always a good idea to visit the BBB website to research a business or file a complaint.
