🚨 SCAM ALERT: Fake Amazon Job Texts Are Spreading... AGAIN!

A text offering an easy, remote Amazon job paying up to $600 a day may sound like a great opportunity—but it could be a scam.

These messages often claim Amazon needs help with simple online tasks or “product refreshes.” They promise high pay for very little work and create urgency by claiming only a few positions remain.

Watch for these warning signs:

- You received a job offer you never applied for.
- The job duties are vague, but the pay sounds unusually high.
- The message comes from a personal email address or unknown number.
- You’re told to contact a different phone number for “more information.”
- The recruiter asks for personal information, banking details or money.
- You’re asked to pay for training, equipment or access to your earnings.

Never reply just to see what happens. Block the sender, report the message and verify any opportunity by visiting Amazon’s official careers website directly.

Remember: Legitimate employers will not ask you to pay to get hired.

Share this alert with anyone searching for a job or additional income. A promising opportunity should always be verified before you respond.

PROTECTION FOR ARIZONA CRYPTO ATM SCAM VICTIMS

If a scammer convinced you to deposit money into a cryptocurrency kiosk or ATM, you may be eligible to receive your money back under Arizona’s Cryptocurrency Kiosk License Fraud Prevention Law.

To qualify, new customers must take action within 30 days of the fraudulent transaction:

1️⃣ Save all receipts from the cryptocurrency kiosk.

2️⃣ Report the scam to local law enforcement or the Arizona Attorney General’s Office and obtain a copy of the report.

3️⃣ Contact the company that operates the kiosk using the customer-service number displayed on the machine.

4️⃣ Provide the operator with the transaction details, receipts and official report.

Qualifying victims may be entitled to a full refund, including transaction fees—but the 30-day deadline is critical.

If someone tells you to use a cryptocurrency ATM to protect your money, pay a bill, resolve a legal issue or help a loved one, stop. Cryptocurrency transactions are commonly used by scammers because they can be difficult to reverse.

Save this post and share it with someone you love. Knowing your rights—and acting quickly—could help recover money lost to a scam.

💡 TIP TUESDAY: You Clicked a Suspicious Link—Now What?

First, don’t panic. Phishing websites are designed to look legitimate, and acting quickly can help limit the damage.

If you entered personal information on a suspicious website:

1️⃣ Change the affected password immediately—and update any other accounts where you reused it.

2️⃣ Turn on multifactor authentication for added protection.

3️⃣ Contact your bank or credit card company if you shared financial information. Ask them to monitor, freeze or replace the affected account or card.

4️⃣ Run a security scan and update your device, browser and apps.

5️⃣ Monitor your bank statements, credit reports and online accounts for activity you don’t recognize.

6️⃣ If you shared sensitive information such as your Social Security number, consider freezing your credit with all three credit bureaus.

7️⃣ Report identity theft and create a recovery plan at IdentityTheft.gov.

Keep the suspicious email, screenshots and related messages as evidence—but don’t click the link again.

One accidental click does not mean it’s too late. Stop, take action and ask someone you trust for help if you need it.

Save and share this post so these steps are nearby when they matter most.

🚨 SCAM ALERT: That QR Code at the Doctor’s Office May Not Be Safe

Scammers are placing fake QR codes in places we’re accustomed to trusting—including medical mailings, doctors’ offices, pharmacies and hospital parking areas.

Scanning one could send you to a convincing fake website designed to steal your:

• Medicare number
• Patient portal login
• Social Security number
• Credit or debit card information
• Other personal details

Before scanning a QR code:

✅ Preview the web address and look for misspellings or unfamiliar domains.
✅ Check for crooked, peeling or layered stickers that may indicate tampering.
✅ Ask an employee to confirm that the code is legitimate.
✅ When in doubt, use the provider’s official app or type its known website into your browser.

Remember: A scammer knowing your name, address or medical provider does not make the request legitimate. Always pause and verify.

Share this alert with someone you love. A quick warning could protect their identity, healthcare information and finances.

🚨 SCAM ALERT: Storm Repair Scams Are on the Rise 🚨

Monsoon season doesn't just bring storm damage—it also brings scammers looking to take advantage of homeowners when they're most vulnerable.

Before hiring anyone to repair your home:
✔️ Contact your insurance company first.
✔️ Get multiple written estimates.
✔️ Verify the contractor is licensed through the Arizona Registrar of Contractors.
✔️ Never pay in full upfront.
✔️ If someone insists on payment by gift card or cryptocurrency, walk away—it's a scam.

Scammers often show up immediately after severe weather, promising quick repairs and pressuring you to act fast. Take your time, do your research, and don't let urgency cost you thousands.

Share this post to help protect your friends, family, and neighbors this monsoon season.

🚨 DATA BREACH ALERT - Brinks Home Customers

If you're a Brinks Home customer, it's time to be extra cautious.

Brinks Home recently confirmed a cybersecurity incident after hackers claimed to have accessed customer information, including contact details and customer support records. While the company continues to investigate the full scope of the breach, cybercriminals often move quickly to exploit these situations with convincing phishing emails, text messages, and phone calls.

Here's how to protect yourself:
- Be skeptical of unexpected calls, emails, or texts claiming to be from Brinks Home.
- Never share passwords, verification codes, or financial information through unsolicited communications.
- Change your password if you use the same one on other accounts.
- Monitor your financial and online accounts for suspicious activity.

Remember: Data breaches don't end when the hackers leave—they often begin with the scams that follow.

💡 Tip Tuesday - Should you add your spouse's Face ID or fingerprint to your phone?

It can be a smart way to prepare for an emergency—but only if it's someone you completely trust.

Giving someone biometric access can help if you're hospitalized, unable to use your phone, or if a loved one needs access to important information after your passing.

Before you enable Face ID or fingerprint access, keep these tips in mind:

✔️ Only add someone you trust completely.
✔️ Understand that biometric access may allow them to access email, banking apps, social media, and other sensitive accounts.
✔️ Review your phone's security settings regularly and remove access if circumstances change.
✔️ Have a family conversation about who should have access—and why.

Technology can make life easier, but every convenience comes with a security tradeoff. Taking a few minutes to think through your digital access today can help protect both you and your loved ones tomorrow.

This week's Tip Tuesday: Plan ahead, but protect your privacy.

Stay informed. Stay vigilant. Stay protected. 💙🧡
