You Won an iPhone… Just Give Us Your Identity

Published July 27th, 2007 in Identity Theft

Obviously, with the massive hype over iPhones, you can bet that thieves and criminals are taking advantage of the situation. Their most current scam is to send out mass emails to random people, stating they just won an iPhone. To claim your iPhone, all you need to do is click on a link…. well, that link sends you to a malicious website which installs malware onto your computer. So just keep in mind, if an email sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Also, you can bet you won’t ever win anything that you don’t even sign up for, so take that into consideration as well.
