Fraud Friday: Email Phishing Scammers

The Clarkstown police has released a fraud tip to help residents identify fraudulent support emails.

Have you ever received an email from an account like PayPal or Amazon warning of suspicious activity on your account, asking you to log in to unlock your account?

These emails are scammers trying to get you to log in to steal your information. Here’s a tip: by clicking on the sender’s name, it will reveal the email ID used to send the alert, showing an email not affiliated with any type of support or customer service.

Don’t be quick to click. Always verify alerts.
