But unfortunately, it is also the season to be wary! Because sadly, an increase in gift-giving, only shopping, seasonal sales, and giveaways, and the fact that everyone lets their guard down a little as they get into the festive spirit, creates the perfect conditions for cybercriminals.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that cybercrime is on the rise. In fact, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/lifestyle\/money\/black-friday-and-christmas-scams-23023006\" rel=\"nofollow\">UK Finance figures<\/a> more than \u00a327 million was lost to fraud and scams in just six months in 2020. This works out at an average of \u00a3720 per case. And aware of what\u2019s going on at this time of year, scammers and fraudsters take advantage of unsuspecting victims.<\/p>\n<p>So though fraud may be happening all year round, with the festive season upon us we thought it would be a good idea to pull together a list of some of the more popular phishing scams that will be hitting your inbox right about now.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_69_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e761dbb8d40\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e761dbb8d40\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/phelixinfosolutions.com\/blog\/seasonal-email-scams-to-look-out-for\/#Seasonal_Email_Scams_To_Look_Out_For\" title=\"Seasonal Email Scams To Look Out For\">Seasonal Email Scams To Look Out For<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/phelixinfosolutions.com\/blog\/seasonal-email-scams-to-look-out-for\/#Fake_shipping_notices_or_messages_from_couriers\" title=\"Fake shipping notices or messages from couriers\">Fake shipping notices or messages from couriers<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/phelixinfosolutions.com\/blog\/seasonal-email-scams-to-look-out-for\/#%E2%80%98Youve_won_%E2%80%93_Seasonal_competition_scams\" title=\"\u2018You\u2019ve won\u2019 &#8211; Seasonal competition scams\">\u2018You\u2019ve won\u2019 &#8211; Seasonal competition scams<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/phelixinfosolutions.com\/blog\/seasonal-email-scams-to-look-out-for\/#Letters_from_Santa\" title=\"Letters from Santa\">Letters from Santa<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/phelixinfosolutions.com\/blog\/seasonal-email-scams-to-look-out-for\/#Fake_charity_appeals\" title=\"Fake charity appeals\">Fake charity appeals<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/phelixinfosolutions.com\/blog\/seasonal-email-scams-to-look-out-for\/#Seasonal_job_opportunities\" title=\"Seasonal job opportunities\">Seasonal job opportunities<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/phelixinfosolutions.com\/blog\/seasonal-email-scams-to-look-out-for\/#What_to_do_if_you_think_youre_being_targeted\" title=\"What to do if you think you&#8217;re being targeted\">What to do if you think you&#8217;re being targeted<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seasonal_Email_Scams_To_Look_Out_For\"><\/span>Seasonal Email Scams To Look Out For<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re aware of these scams and <a href=\"https:\/\/evalian.co.uk\/penetration-testing\/email-phishing-assessments\/\">how to spot them<\/a>, it makes it much easier for you to avoid being conned and keep yourself safe this season &#8211; and long into the future, for that matter. Popular scams include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fake_shipping_notices_or_messages_from_couriers\"><\/span>Fake shipping notices or messages from couriers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With many consumers doing their Christmas shopping online, they might be waiting for multiple parcels at any one time. Cybercriminals take advantage of this by setting up counterfeit emails pretending to be courier or delivery services such as Royal Mail or DPD. They might then ask for additional information or even a small payment to help your parcel reach you.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t click on any suspicious-looking links from in these \u2018courier\u2019 emails and certainly don&#8217;t give away any more of your information. Check the email address and if it doesn&#8217;t look legitimate it\u2019s best to go direct to the retailer\u2019s website and track your parcel through that instead.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Youve_won_%E2%80%93_Seasonal_competition_scams\"><\/span>\u2018You\u2019ve won\u2019 &#8211; Seasonal competition scams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s the time of year when many genuine retailers and businesses might be running competitions, prize draws, or giveaways. However, it\u2019s also the time of year when scammers try to trick their victims into sharing their personal information in a bid to claim their prize.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways you can spot the signs of a competition scam. First and most obviously, if you didn&#8217;t enter the competition in the first place! Secondly, no legitimate body would ask you to give away important details over email, so if they&#8217;re looking for sensitive or financial information, this is most likely a scam.<\/p>\n<p>You should also be careful not to click on any strange links or downloads included in the email. If you think you may have genuinely won the competition you should check the email address and then go straight to the company for confirmation.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Letters_from_Santa\"><\/span>Letters from Santa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Perhaps one of the cruelest seasonal scams of all, fraudsters send emails out to their victims which leads them through to a fake website offering letters or even packages to be sent from Santa. Of course, there are legitimate companies out there that do offer these services, which is what makes this scam so cunning and frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve been redirected to the site, they may request your name, address, and financial details in order to send the letter to you. But of course, the letter will never arrive.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to avoid falling for this type of scam if you do want your little ones to receive a letter from Santa is to run an internet search of reviews to find legitimate companies that have been verified by others.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fake_charity_appeals\"><\/span>Fake charity appeals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You know what they say, Christmas is a time for giving, and often charities will ramp up their fundraising efforts over the festive period. What\u2019s more, many people will be more inclined to spare some change for those that are less fortunate than they are at this time of year. And again, scammers take advantage of people being in this more generous mood.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, they\u2019ll use phishing emails to outline a fake appeal and send victims to a fake website. To do this, they\u2019ll use every emotional language and make their appeal sound urgent. Often they\u2019ll use a name that sounds like a legitimate charity and once you\u2019ve parted with your cash, it\u2019s almost impossible to recover it.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to spot these scams is to check out the charity name very carefully and see if there are any variants on other well-known charities. You can also search the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/find-charity-information\" rel=\"nofollow\">Government\u2019s charity register<\/a> to make sure they are a real and registered charity. A quick internet search should also help you to find out if the email is real or if others have already been targeted and reported it online.<\/p>\n<p>Until you\u2019ve confirmed whether or not the charity is legitimate, don&#8217;t make any sort of payment or share any of your details.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seasonal_job_opportunities\"><\/span>Seasonal job opportunities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>During the holiday season there are often more jobs that need to be filled, for example, the hospitality and retail industries will see a surge in customers and will usually need to take on seasonal staff. Clever scammers will take advantage of this by sending out fake job adverts or job opportunities in a bid to gather personal information.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a seasonal job, it\u2019s best to use legitimate job boards or <a href=\"https:\/\/phelixinfosolutions.com\/blog\/best-5-freelance-websites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">job sites<\/a> to help you find a role. Be cautious of any jobs sent straight to your inbox that offer high salaries or seem too good to be true. You should also never submit your personal information through email in response to a job offer, even if the site seems genuine.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_if_you_think_youre_being_targeted\"><\/span>What to do if you think you&#8217;re being targeted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you do receive an email like this over the festive season and you believe it\u2019s a scam, there are ways you check this, report the scammer and warn other unsuspecting victims. The best places to do this include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Action Fraud<\/li>\n<li>Which<\/li>\n<li>Citizens Advice Bureau<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These bodies will be able to report the suspicious email and begin an investigation to ensure more people aren&#8217;t targeted in the future.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, Winter\u2026 it might be chilly but as we all know is the season to be jolly.
