StopWatt Energy Saver uses fake Shark Tank clips and made-up celebrity endorsements. Zero proof it cuts your bill.
https://t.co/qAjsXeM0oA

Pipitea claims 5 years in business. Domain is actually brand new. Hidden billing traps you into a subscription.

3/3
A brand-new domain. Glowing reviews nobody can verify. An upsell waiting the moment you check out.
👉 https://t.co/qXO1taesG2

A badge isn't proof. A countdown isn't urgency. Check the data before you buy.

2/3 The footage shows it blasting through concrete grime like magic. What arrives is a generic hose nozzle
👉 https://t.co/GPfK5yMMvY

The content delivers what it promises. The ad network around it doesn't. Redirects and malware are one click away.

1/3 A green checkmark. "100% Safe" badge. Looks official. ScamAdviser doesn't issue static seals:

"50% off — today only." What you're buying is a basic evaporative cooler with zero real AC tech.

4/4 Fake job offers are spreading fast.

Scammers pose as Amazon or YouTube recruiters, move chats to WhatsApp, then push “fees” or crypto top-ups.

Also: Office365alerts emails impersonating Costco are stealing logins.

3/4 "Earn money by liking videos."

That's the pitch behind the Video Booster task scam. Victims see fake profits, then get pressured into paying fees to unlock their earnings. The money never comes.

👉 Video Booster Scam:
https://t.co/SeOoDfLMBa

[ScamAdviser @scamadviser]

A package arrives at your door. You never ordered it.

Inside? A QR code promising rewards or product information. Scan it and you could hand scammers access to your data.

1/4 FIFA fever is already here, and so are the scammers.

Fake ticket sites, bogus travel deals, phishing emails, and illegal streaming pages are targeting fans before the tournament even starts.

If it feels urgent or exclusive, slow down.

We have noticed an increase in phishing emails targeting Office365 layouts. Scammers are spoofing @microsoft.com with the name "office365alerts" to send fake "Maximize Costco Membership" alerts.

Buying 30 lbs of mac-and-cheese is great; getting your data stolen isn't. 🛒🛑

That urgent email could cost you more than a click. 🎣

Phishing scams are designed to steal your money, passwords, and personal information by tricking you into trusting a fake message.
