Can your staff spot the five most common text message scams?

• According to reports in the FTC’s Consumer Sentinel database, text message scams took consumers for $330 million in 2022.
• With reported losses more than doubling in 2021 and nearly five times what people reported in 2019, would you be able to spot the five most common text message scams?
• First, some background about what may be behind the proliferation of this form of fraud.
• It’s estimated that text message open rates are as high as 98%, compared to email open rates of 20% – and they cost next to nothing to send.
• So people may have grown accustomed to responding to that ping with an automatic click.
• The Data Spotlight focuses on these five common text message scams.

According to the Data Spotlight, reporting can help stop scam text messages. Forward the text to 7726 (SPAM). This helps your wireless provider block similar messages. Report it on either the Apple iMessages app or Google’s Messages app for Android users. And report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Here is additional advice for your employees:
