Social Security phishing email

fffred — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 06:15:47 GMT

I just had the weird experience of seeing two emails from Social Security in my "spam" folder. The first one titled "Help Us Slam the Scam" seemed legitimate so I clicked the "it's okay" button. The second email, titled "Unlock Insights: Your Enhanced Social Security Statement", also seemed okay at first glance. Then I saw it was actually from "info@jauntr.co". Oops, no thanks!

Then I kicked myself for accepting the first message. But it turned out to be legitimate. But I learned my lesson on that!

So, people, be careful out there! watch out for those scammers. Don't click any links in the emails (I "virtually" never do... not 100% but close to it).

That’s the first line of defense. Always, Always check

the senders address on suspicion looking emails. Look at what follows the @ sign.

if it does not contain the reputable company’s name but some other variation then delete, delete, delete.
