We at Thrive Internet Marketing Agency have recently become aware that fraudsters have used our brand name, likeness, logo and the names of our employees to scam people around the world across different channels and platforms. We do not tolerate these unlawful acts.
Our digital marketing company takes a proactive approach to protect you, our brand, employees and clients against scammers.
Some Helpful Points to Remember:
Recognizing these common signs of a scam could help you avoid one. Remember that scammers:
- Contact you out of the blue.
- Pretend to be from a well-known organization or contact.
- Pressure you to act immediately.
- Suggest their own verification procedures, such as calling or texting numbers they provide to you or going to a website they have created.
- Send unsolicited emails, text messages or social media messages claiming to be someone else.
- Trick you into giving access to sensitive information, such as your social security number, bank account or credit card details.
- Prey on your emotions.
- Ask you to keep a transaction a secret.
- Make their offer sound too good to be true.
