Actions to Take If you fell for this Netflix Reviewer Scam
Check Your Device for Viruses and Malware
It’s important to act quickly by scanning all devices you’ve used to interact with the scam, including your computer, smartphone, and tablet.
- Check browser extensions: Some scammers try to install browser extensions that track your online activity. Review your browser’s extension list and remove any that you don’t recognize or trust.
- Use antivirus software to run a full system scan. If you don’t already have antivirus software installed, there are several free and paid options available, such as Malwarebytes, Avast, or Bitdefender.
- Uninstall suspicious apps: If the scam involved asking you to download specific software or apps, go through your device’s list of installed apps and uninstall any that look unfamiliar or suspicious.
Change Passwords for Shared Accounts
If the scam involved creating an account for the fake task immediately reset your passwords for any accounts that could be affected.
- Use strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts, incorporating a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your accounts for an added layer of protection.
- If you reused passwords across multiple sites, consider using a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts.
Monitor Your Financial Accounts Closely
If you’ve provided financial information during your interaction with the scam, it’s essential to monitor your credit card, bank accounts, and any payment apps (like PayPal or Venmo) closely.
- Check for unauthorized transactions: Regularly review your bank statements or use mobile banking apps to check for any suspicious activity. Scammers may use your details to make unauthorized purchases or transfer money.
- Notify your bank or credit card company: If you spot any charges you didn’t authorize, immediately contact your financial institution to dispute the transaction and block any further activity. They may suggest canceling your card and issuing a new one.
- Place a fraud alert on your credit: If you’re particularly concerned about identity theft, you can contact a credit reporting agency (Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion) to place a fraud alert on your credit report. This will make it harder for anyone to open credit in your name.
Cancel Any Subscriptions or Trials
If the fake job required you to sign up for a subscription service cancel any subscriptions or free trials associated with the scam immediately. Be sure to check if you have been billed, and if so, request a refund if possible.
- Look for recurring charges: Check your bank or credit card statements for any recurring payments related to the scam. These charges may continue even if you no longer engage with the fraudulent service.
- Contact the company: If you were tricked into subscribing to a fake service, contact the company directly to cancel the subscription. If it’s a legitimate company that’s been impersonated, they may be able to help you identify fraudulent activity or reverse charges.
File a Report
Reporting the scam is essential for preventing others from falling into the same trap. You can report the scam to several different organizations;
- File a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC): In the U.S., the FTC handles consumer complaints related to scams and fraud. You can file a complaint through their website at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
Precaution
To avoid falling victims to scams disguised as genuine work from home opportunity, here are tips on staying alert;
Use trusted sites when applying for online jobs. It’s best to stick with established and reputable sites when applying for jobs online. That way, the possibility of being scammed is reduced.
Always check for reviews online about the platform or website offering the job opportunity. This research includes using keywords like ‘scam’ ‘fake’ ‘reviews’ attached to the website name when searching on the internet.
Check Who.is to find out how long the website has been functioning. It’s very simple to do so. You only need to write the name of the website on the search bar in Who.is website, then it comes up with information about when the website was registered, where and by who. If the website age is not up to a year, it’s wise to back off.
Be wary of too good to be true rewards. If a website is promising $750 to review one or two product, it’s best you back off as scammers often use big promises as a bait to attract victims.
