r/phishing

I just got the following email:

Hovering over the link I get the following URL (spaces added by me). This is after I put the link into a text editor to make sure it didn't have any Unicode tomfoolery:

https: //login .microsoftonline .com /common /oauth2 /v2.0 /authorize? &scope=openid &prompt=none &client_id=f25cef3a-7a64-4678-855d-332ee5d47e61

I actually went to the root URL which is proper Microsoft and got me into my account. However, going to the full URL redirected me to this page:

Looks legit but the URL is totally sus.

Two items:

1. Be cautious! Scammers are getting help from AI and becoming cleverer and cleverer

2. Am I toast? I didn't follow the `link-appss` website any further but don't know if just the one click was enough to get `ware on my Mac

Got a call earlier today from a number I didn’t recognize and almost didn’t pick up, but I did. The guy on the other end said my full name right away, then asked if I still lived at my current address.

I hung up pretty quickly but it honestly threw me off more than I expected. This wasn’t just a spam robocall, it felt way more targeted. How does this happen and what can I do to find where my info has leaked?

I got this email saying I have a OTP for Robinhood, don't know if I got been hacked or is phishing attempt. I did not log in to my Robinhood account today.

Hi

I received an email with a pdf file attached and I clicked on it as it said it was from a dentist (and I'm currently having treatment). However, the email address I didn't recognise.

To view the pdf it asked me to sign into my Google account I got as far as putting my email address but didn't put my password in.

Is this likely to be a phishing email and if so am I safe of I didn't put my password in?

Thanks

So I google everything before I click on something in my spam folder. This scam has been going on for more than a year, apparently. It is supposedly a phishing email. You do not need a dental kit. Just buy a toothbrush at the dollar store.

Only reason I even go through my spam emaila is because I've gotten some legitimate class action settlement signup emails sent to the spam folder in the past. I check regularly.

Alright, I don’t need any backlash but I am still concerned.

I received an email from a previous employer, it was a Docusign link and I foolishly clicked the link on my IPhone. I manually entered my email and password, did a “prove you’re not a robot” thing and stopped. I closed the tab, reset my email password. I cleared my safari history. I then call said employer and she said it was a scam email. I reset my iPhone a day after (didn’t think to do it then), reset all my main accounts. And even took it as far as deleting the email account from my phone where it deleted all my contacts. Am I still okay?

Number from +18022330158. Claiming to be WF fraud. Said they detected unauthorized transactions. Wanted me to read them the security code sent to my phone.

I said I'll call back. Called WF directly, they didn't call nor notice any suspicious activity on my account.

What they were trying to do was get the code and get into my account.

To anyone out there who has received a Cibc divestiture notice with this number it is 100% a scam. Unfortunately bank employees exasperate the problem and transfer the victim to the number keeping the target in a scam loop. Beware of being asked to repeat information, transferred for simple requests etc. The first phishing attempt is an email from Cibc; do not open or sign in. I sent to Canadian antifraud; Cibc fraud, police. 1-888-274-5552 is the number and is traced to Florida

I was a happy client for 28 years but have had nothing but issues for almost a year; and I reported to Canadian anti fraud and the police. The bank fell for it and it has been terrible.

Do not call that number and be wary if telephone representatives transfer. Thank goodness there is an automatic security block from attempts to access; inconvenient as it affects the victims access too.

Proof is letters supposedly from senior Cibc employees; that do not actually work at Cibc. Spelling mistakes etc. Violates the bank act, fair credit reporting law, Financial consumer protection framework (employees routing victims to the scam number) instead of securing and protecting from exposure.

Thus one is a a good one. You may also recieve a no trespass and a return envelope requesting a bank draft for a balance sent to a post office box “divestitures”which makes it so the victim calls instead of going to branch; and may fall for it and send money.

I received the same letters 2019 and 2025 and kept for fingerprints.

Call the number in tte back of your card and replace all products right away! ☺️
