one of the most common scams I see these
0:02
days is a fake delivery notification
0:04
email in this video I'll show you what
0:07
it looks like and how you can spot one
0:09
for example let S say that you did
0:11
unorder anything from an online store in
0:14
the past couple of days but you get a
0:16
notification that your package could
0:18
unbelled and that you need to provide
0:21
some details to reschedule the delivery
0:23
now of course this is a scam no
0:26
legitimate company would ask for your
0:28
personal details via an email like this
0:30
they already have them so if you get any
0:31
emails like this just delete them don't
0:33
click on the link inside but let me show
0:35
you a few more examples so you know what
0:36
to look out for first you didn't order
0:39
anything recently you get a notification
0:41
that your package could unbelled and
0:43
that you need to click on the link below
0:45
to reschedule the delivery so this is a
0:48
scam don't click on the link the sender
0:53
so this isn't even a real DHL email
0:57
also if you hover over the link you can
1:00
see that it's not really a DHL link it
1:02
goes to some random website if you click
1:04
on that link they might ask you to log
1:06
in with your DHL credentials or provide
1:09
your personal details which will of
1:11
course be stolen another thing you
1:14
should look out for is if there are no
1:15
details about your package if you
1:17
ordered something they should at least
1:19
tell you what you ordered and the
1:20
tracking number but this is just a bunch
1:22
of gibberish so it's not real the next
1:25
one is very similar to the previous one
1:30
of course if you hover over the link you
1:33
can see that it's not a real FedEx link
1:35
it goes to some random website so don't
1:37
click on it also if you look at the
1:40
actual email there are no details about
1:42
your package or your order
1:45
so just delete it another thing to watch
1:47
out for is if they send you an
1:49
attachment sometimes this attachment is
1:51
what they use to steal your password for
1:54
example if you open this attachment
1:56
it'll download a file to your computer
1:59
and if you double click on it it'll say
2:01
that it's a self- extracting archive and
2:03
if you click on extract it'll extract a
2:06
file to your downloads folder now this
2:08
file may look like a password manager or
2:10
some other software that you might have
2:12
downloaded before but if you take a
2:14
closer look you'll see that it's
2:16
actually a random.exe file this is an
2:19
executable file so if you run this it
2:21
will install some malware on your
2:23
computer so never open attachments and
2:25
emails like this if you do and you end
2:28
up installing something from it you
2:30
might as well tell your bank that your
2:31
card has been stolen because all your
2:33
credit cards all your passwords
2:35
everything will be gone here's another
2:38
one looks legit right the email is from
2:43
but if you hover over the link you'll
2:45
see that it goes to some random website
2:48
also if you look at the email address
2:50
you'll notice that it doesn't say UPS
2:52
anywhere so it's not a real UPS email
2:56
and the last one is a bit different it's
2:58
a text message this time and it says
3:01
that your package was out for delivery
3:03
but it couldn't be delivered because
3:04
there was no doorbell or something like
3:06
that and it gives you a link to schedule
3:09
the delivery well of course this is a
3:11
scam don't click on it so how do you
3:13
protect yourself from these types of
3:15
emails well first of all don't click on
3:17
any links or attachments and emails like
3:19
this that's a no-brainer secondly enable
3:22
two-factor authentication on all your
3:24
accounts that way even if they do happen
3:27
to steal your password they won't be
3:29
able to get into your account because
3:31
they do and have the two-factor
3:33
authentication code and speaking of
3:35
two-factor authentication there is a
3:38
platform that I built that allows you to
3:40
easily set up two-factor authentication
3:41
on all your accounts it works on all
3:43
major platforms and it's completely free
3:46
all right hopefully you found this
