Scam

It is unfortunate that we often come across people on almost an everyday basis that are out to scam others online. However, it has become abundantly clear in this day and age we live in, we are going to keep seeing more of these, no matter where you are. However, as someone that lives in Massachusetts, I happened to come across a particular email scam for the first time.

There's a malicious LARGE-SCALE phishing attack making the rounds on Facebook and Tik Tok right now and it's doing a fair amount of damage.

It's a scam. They say that the Massachusetts State Police will in fact never call you to solicit donations for any reason.

We see QR Codes everywhere. Right? Common places that you might see them include websites, email newsletters, business signs on the highway, on bumper stickers. Restaurants sometimes use them to show you their menu while you are sitting at the table or at home ordering takeout...

This scam works rather simply. The contractor either shows up at your door or maybe leaves a pamphlet for you saying that they are doing work in the area and noticed that your driveway could use some paving and then promises you a great deal.

There's a scam going around that generally affects small businesses. It's one you may be familiar with, as it's definitely not new.

The scam is perpetrated using various peer-to-peer payment apps such as Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, or any of the several of them that are out there in cyberspace.

A Pittsfield man is facing multiple charges after allegedly perpetrating a huge contracting scam in which he fraudulently collected more than $400,000 from unwitting victims.

If you get a text from your boss, you may just want to delete it! Well... actually, hang on just a second.

According to Massachusetts State Police, there is currently a phishing scam going on that involves fraudulent QR codes on parking meters.
