What the Unaddressed Parcel Fraudulent Messages video tutorial is about
In this video tutorial Fraudulent messages with unaddressed parcels we will see how we can tell if an email or sms in which it is claimed that we have a parcel to receive is legitimate, although we were not expecting any parcel
For some people, the fraudulent messages with: "you have a package to receive, but you have to fill in something", really work
This method of email Phishing is called Smishing via SMS and relies on people's weaknesses for data collection, for small payments (transportation only) and so on
Normally, if you haven't ordered a product online, you don't have to startle when you receive an email or SMS with the message "you have a parcel to receive".
However some people think they can get something without paying and of course they fall into the trap
There is another category of people, who are really waiting for a package and you have the impression that that message is fixed for them
What can happen if you respond to such sms or email messages
First of all, your personal data can get into the hands of people who can use it in different ways
Second, you can get infected with viruses or ransomware, which can damage your files or turn your computer into a zombie machine, working for others
Last but not least, you may be charged a very small amount for shipping. As it is necessary to enter the data from the card, of course these data can be used later to empty the account.
How do we know if an email is valid?
The domain from which the email was sent is clearly visible in the details of the email. There are also the details of the certificate that should be issued for that domain
How do we know that an SMS is fraudulent?
First of all, the courier will never ask you for personal data via SMS. The second row clearly shows the link, which can reveal the domain from which the message was sent
