They will do just about anything to try to steal your money.  One of the things they&#8217;ve started to do is purchase security certificates for their bogus websites.  They realize that most computer users have come to understand that the &#8220;s&#8221; in https:\/\/ stands for &#8220;secure.&#8221;  A website is secure when everything transmitted from the site to your computer and vice versa is encrypted.  The idea is that no one can intercept what you&#8217;re doing because that person can&#8217;t decrypt it.  Because of the encryption, you can enter credit card info, billing address, etc. and know that it can&#8217;t be stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or can it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where scammers can &#8220;get you!&#8221;  If they can lure you to their website, you&#8217;ll see the &#8220;https:\/\/&#8221; and the locked padlock and you&#8217;ll relax because you know everything is secure.  Unfortunately,  what this really means is you have securely given them your personal information!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the point: there can be a difference between a &#8220;secure&#8221; site and a legitimate site.  Scammers will use any method possible: emails, surveys and fake results in Internet search engines to get you to their counterfeit secured site.  You need to stay a step ahead of them by making sure the &#8220;https:\/\/&#8221; site you are on is authentic &#8211; not always an easy task, by the way.  Scammers are excellent at creating sites that seem real.  With that in mind, how can you be sure?  There&#8217;s no easy answer to that question but you should always err on the side of caution.  Are there obvious spelling and\/or grammatical mistakes?  If it&#8217;s an email, does the &#8220;from&#8221; address match the company or person it&#8217;s supposed to be coming from?  If someone sent you a link, can you trust them?  Does it promise you something that seems &#8220;too good to be true&#8221;?  Is there anything about the email, survey or site that makes you feel uncomfortable?  Does the site use any of the three social engineering tricks which we&#8217;ve talked about before?   (<strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/?p=783\" target=\"_blank\">The Weakest Link In The Chain<\/a><\/span><\/strong> &#8211; click and scroll near the bottom.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be especially alert with emails which appear to come from financial companies.  It&#8217;s a good practice to never click on a link in an email from a financial institution but, rather, go to the site like you normally do and log in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, &#8220;https:\/\/&#8221; means &#8220;secure&#8221; not &#8220;legitimate.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those nasty scammers.
