Scam Tracker reports more than 9,000 scams last year. Reports so far indicate another record year is likely for 2024.

BBB President Steve Bernas joined ABC7 to talk about what phishing scams are, what some red flags are and what people should do if they see a red flag.-Phishing, despite being one of the oldest and most well-known scam techniques, continues to be successful, because of its adaptability to various forms of communication.

Phishing scams target both individuals and businesses, with business losses totaling in the billions over the last three years, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and supported by BBB Scam Tracker reports. Because phishing techniques change so often, it can be hard for the public and authorities to keep up with the ever-changing defenses needed.Claims about suspicious activity or fraudulent loginsRequests to click a link to make a paymentSpeaks in typo-filled and urgent language
