Technical News Office – Google has billions of users and a huge number of people use its services. Taking advantage of this, scammers often make users victims of fraud and scams, but Google recently gave 5 best tips to protect users from online fraud. With these tips, you can identify online fraud and protect your data and money. Let us know…
deepfake scam
Google has asked users to be careful, especially when videos or audios of celebrities are used. These deepfake contents are created with artificial intelligence (AI), which can appear real. In such a situation, to identify deepfakes, pay attention to some different expressions, facial distortions or synthetic voices in the content. Also thoroughly check videos and audios related to election campaigning or investments.
crypto investment plan
If you receive messages or emails offering guaranteed high returns on cryptocurrency investments, it may be a scam. Remember that no real investment plan guarantees that you will double your money quickly.
Clone an app and website
Scammers create fake apps cloned from popular banking sites and other websites or apps. In such a situation, download the app only from trusted sources. Watch out for things like misspelled words, strange fonts, or random emojis in the URL. If a website looks very attractive and offers something new, be wary.
hiding the landing page
This is an advanced fraud technique, in which a website’s landing page can look like the real thing. These pages ask users to share their login ID and other sensitive information. Therefore, in such a situation, check the URL carefully. Make sure the URL doesn’t change during redirection. Keep security settings on Google Chrome.
event
During large events like sporting events, concerts or charity events, scammers create fake websites and defraud people in the name of tickets, merchandise or donations. Always only buy from verified websites. Check all details before making payment.
