Got a scam warning from the Threat Protection Pro™ scam and fraud alert tool? Check what it means.
What should I do after getting a scam warning?
If Threat Protection Pro™ alerted you about a scam website and you immediately closed the tab — you don’t have to do anything. Your data and devices should be safe. However, if you interacted with the website or just want to be extra safe, you can take certain actions:
01
Block the source
Whether you got the link to this website from a social media post, email, or a DM — immediately report and block the user who shared it.
02
Report the website
Help other internet users who may not have additional browsing protection and report the website. It’s a small step, but it can make the internet a safer place.
03
Protect your data
If you interacted with the content on the scam website or communicated with people running it, make sure your accounts, passwords, and financial details are safe.
How does Threat Protection Pro™ recognize scam websites?
Threat Protection Pro™ uses a large database of known scam sites, that our threat intelligence researchers regularly update.
In addition to using our internal ML based engine, our threat intelligence researchers regularly review public and private data and incorporate their findings into Threat Protection Pro™. When you visit a website, it analyzes that URL for signs of malicious activity. If it recognizes a potential risk, you’ll instantly see a warning message that it could be a fake or scam website.
