New McAfee research found 30% plan to use tools like ChatGPT to help prepare their taxes.

But as McAfee’s @abhishekkarnik told Mashable: “You don't want to be using chatbots as your tax consultants. They're not the experts.”

Tax season = peak scam season.

Scammers are sending texts, emails, and calls pretending to be the IRS, trying to pressure people into sharing personal info or sending payments.

Reminder: The IRS won’t contact you through text, email, or social media demanding payment.

Know the red flags:

[McAfee @McAfee]

Ever receive a package you don’t recognize...but it’s addressed to you?

It may not be a mix-up. It could be the start of a “brushing” scam, where fraudsters use stolen info to send junk items and post fake verified reviews in your name.

Thanks to @guardian for speaking with McAfee and covering this growing scam trend. 📦🔒

Kiss all the time. Disco occasionally. Panic-buying tickets? That’s where scammers win.

With demand soaring for Harry Styles’ Together, Together tour, cybercriminals are flooding social feeds with fake resales and last-chance offers. As Vonny Gamot, Head of EMEA at McAfee, shared, scammers prey on urgency — pushing fans into clicking dodgy links, paying outside official platforms, or handing over personal details.

At McAfee, we help fans slow down, spot the red flags, and keep the excitement where it belongs — in the crowd, not in a scammer’s wallet.
