In anticipation of the imminent release of Apple's iPhone 15, Kaspersky experts have uncovered a range of scams that exploit the excitement surrounding this tech innovation. These scams encompass various fraudulent schemes, each carrying distinct risks for unsuspecting consumers, including potential data and financial losses.
In one prevalent deceptive maneuver, scammers entice users with the chance to purchase the iPhone 15 ahead of its official launch. This scheme capitalizes on users' eagerness to be among the first to possess Apple's latest device.
To secure their"exclusive" purchase, victims are required to make an upfront payment or divulge their financial information. Another scam presents participants with the chance to win the new iPhone 15, provided they pay a nominal upfront fee. "In the digital age, scammers constantly adapt and exploit our excitement for the latest tech trends. Consumers must stay vigilant, verify offers, and safeguard their personal information. Remember, if something seems too good to be true, it often is," comments Tatyana Kulikova, security expert at Kaspersky.• Verify the Source: Ensure you are dealing with reputable and authorized sellers, especially for pre-release purchases.
