If one day you find a note on your windshield, don’t panic! ๐จ Just ignore it. ๐ Discover what it might be hiding and how you can protect yourself in such a situation ๐๐๐.
Today, scams are so sophisticated that no one is safe.
This is a scam every driver should know about in order to stay protected.
It all starts with an apparently insignificant detail that can happen to anyone.
First, the scammers damage a vehicle and then leave an apology note with their phone number on the windshield.
The goal is to convince you that you were hit by another driver, who offers to settle the incident.
If you contact the provided number, youโll fall into the scammer’s trap.
First, they apologize to gain your trust, then promise that their insurer will cover all repair costs.
Next, they warn you that you will receive a message or email with a link.
In reality, this link is a hacking tool that will install a malicious app and take control of your smartphone.
They will have access not only to the content of your phone, but also to your banking apps.
They can even block your phone remotely.
So if you find yourself in such a situation, ignore the number provided, especially if there is no other evidence of an accident.
And if you’ve already contacted the number, make sure never to click on the link they sent.
