Phishing
Scammers impersonate legitimate companies (your bank, Amazon, Microsoft, the IRS) via email to trick you into clicking a malicious link, entering login credentials on a fake site, or opening an infected attachment.
Smishing (SMS Phishing)
Phishing delivered via text message. Common variants include fake USPS/FedEx delivery notices, fake bank fraud alerts, fake toll road bills, and fake IRS warnings — all designed to push victims to click malicious links.
Vishing (Voice Phishing)
Phishing over the phone. Scammers call pretending to be from your bank, a government agency, or a tech company, using social engineering to trick you into revealing personal information, financial details, or transferring money.
