“You’ve been refunded $1,284.75. View details here.”

Unexpected refunds are a major red flag. Scammers use fake refund messages to trick you into click malicious links that steal your personal information.

Be cautious of the message:

  • Comes from an unfamiliar sender.

  • Includes links or attachments you weren’t expecting.

  • Uses vague language or generic greetings.

Always verify refunds by logging in directly through the official app or website, never by clicking a link in an email.
