Update: 2025-11-07
Description
Linda Ockwell-Jenner discusses a recent phishing scam attempt she received disguised as an email from Best Buy’s Geek Squad. The email requested money, a tactic common in phishing scams that use urgent language and fake logos. She emphasizes the importance of verifying email senders, avoiding suspicious links, and not clicking on anything that seems off. She highlights the tendency for people to dismiss these warnings, and advocates for increased awareness and careful scrutiny of incoming emails, particularly those with unusual requests or sender addresses. Ultimately, she urges listeners to prioritize security by checking email sources and avoiding potential financial harm.
