Welcome to the latest episode of The Real Estate Podcast with Nico James-Bock. I received an official-looking letter from "Mackenzie Investments", a company of which I am aware but I have never transacted any business with this company. Upon checking various elements of the letter, I determined that it was a scam. Scammers used a photocopy of the MacKenzie Investments letterhead and created a rather lengthy 4-page letter warning of a data breach.
Here are my 6 tips to avoid getting hooked by such a bold attempt at phishing:
1. Verify links before you click them. ...
2. Avoid sending sensitive information over email or texts.
3. Back up information so that you have another copy.
4. Apply software updates and patches.
5. Filter spam emails (unsolicited junk emails sent in bulk)
6.Clear your physical mailbox (or have someone clear it) and forward mail if away from home for more than 3 weeks.
Protect yourself, your identity and your data. You can also check out an earlier episode of this podcast in which I talk about mortgage fraud and ways to avoid identity theft.
