Phishing Scams and Schemes Unveiled

The following is a scam email in which the scammer is posing as a payment system. The scammer’s email looks like a payment to the victim, the victim just needs to click on the link to confirm the payments to their account.

This is a scam! Once the link is clicked the scammer will steal credentials from the victim and use it to reek havoc on the victim. You can tell this is a scam because the email address is from a random domain (not the payroll system). The payments are also listed in Pounds not USD. All of these are signs of a scam. If you have received this email please delete it.
