One of the biggest scams that people still fall for is the “phishing” scam, where scammers impersonate legitimate organizations via email or text message to steal personal information. These scams often look very convincing, leading individuals to click on malicious links or provide sensitive information like passwords and credit card numbers. Despite increased awareness and education about online security, many people still fall victim due to a lack of scrutiny or urgency in responding to seemingly legitimate requests. Always double-check the sender’s email address, look for spelling errors, and never provide personal information unless you are absolutely sure you’re communicating with a trusted source.
