Usually, they claim that a delivery has failed, and that either your personal\/financial information or payment of a small fee is required. Delivery scam messages may also contain a link for downloading a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/phones-and-broadband\/scam-calls-and-messages\/flubot-scam-fake-delivery-company-text-messages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parcel tracking app, which is, in fact, malware<\/a>.<\/p><h4>Online shopping scams \u2013 You won\u2019t find better prices!<\/h4><p>Scammers often create entire fake, but believable, online shops or copycats of legitimate online markets to trick visitors into buying non-existent or fake products, such as clothes, electronics, or school supplies. Of course, these feature the usual great discounts and too-good-to-be-true offers needed to entice potential victims.<\/p><p>ESET researchers have documented advanced variations of this scam, where cybercriminals offer both support services and automated bots, allowing novice criminals to scam people en masse with ease. This method allows less-skilled scammers to create their own fully automated fake websites, fraudulent messages, and interactive chatbots with on-the-fly language translation, and more.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p><h4>Advanced fee scams \u2013 You\u2019re eligible for benefits, but we just need a small fee!<\/h4><p>Advanced fee scams involve fraudsters describing and promising a benefit \u2013 such as a scholarship, student loan forgiveness, or back-to-school vouchers \u2013 in exchange for an up-front payment. However, there is in fact no benefit, and the fraudsters usually disappear after the \u201cfee\u201d is paid.<\/p><h4>Student tax scam \u2013 A student tax is owed; pay or face consequences!<\/h4><p>Students (or their parents) who are heading off to college may encounter fraudulent messages in which scammers pretending to be from the government claim that there is a student tax that requires payment. However, the claimed tax does not exist; it\u2019s an attempt at fraud, and, following any successful collection, the scammers disappear.<\/p><h2 id=\"how-to-stay-safe\">How to stay safe<\/h2><p>Students and parents should be aware that the back-to-school season is an attractive time for scammers. Stay vigilant; read messages similar to the examples shared above carefully, and check the sender\u2019s email address, the content of the message, any attached links, and so on. Don\u2019t make hasty decisions.<\/p><p>Because scams are becoming more sophisticated and smartphone users are more susceptible, students and parents shouldn\u2019t rely solely on their ability to spot a scam attempt. Having reliable smartphone protection based on a prevention-first approach is essential.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eset.com\/us\/home\/mobile-security-android\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESET Mobile Security <\/a>for Android can defend users against a wide spectrum of mobile threats, including malware, phishing links, and physical theft.
