Protecting Yourself from UNIFORCE Phishing Scams
At UNIFORCE, the security of your information is our top priority. We are aware of recent phishing attempts targeting our users through SMS (text message). These scams attempt to trick you into revealing personal information, such as your login credentials or bank account details.
What is Phishing?
Phishing is a fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, or credit card details by disguising oneself as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Phishing emails or text messages often appear to be from a legitimate source, such as your bank, credit card company, or in this case, Uniforce.
How to Identify Uniforce Phishing SMS
UNIFORCE will never request personal information such as passwords or account details through text message. Here are some signs to watch out for:
- Urgency or threats: Phishing messages often create a sense of urgency or threaten to close your account if you don’t respond immediately.
- Downloading Apps: UNIFORCE will never ask you to download an app such as WhatsApp.
- Suspicious links: Don’t click on any links in a suspicious text message. Hovering over the link (without clicking) may reveal a suspicious URL.
- Misspellings and grammatical errors: Legitimate companies typically proofread their communications carefully.
What to Do If You Receive a Phishing SMS
- Do not click on any links or reply to the message.
- Report the phishing attempt to Uniforce by forwarding the message to [[email address removed]].
- Delete the message from your phone.
How to Protect Yourself from Phishing
- Be cautious of any unsolicited SMS, even if it appears to be from a familiar sender.
- Never share your personal information or login credentials through text message.
- If you’re unsure about the legitimacy of a message, contact Uniforce directly through our website or verified contact information.
