FBI, Google, and YouTube issue urgent warnings to millions of users about email and message scams.
The FBI has warned Android and iPhone users to be wary of scam messages that contain fraudulent health claims. Cybercriminals send out phishing emails and texts, hoping to get people interested in their bogus health products. The messages may contain links to malicious websites that want to steal personal information and money. The FBI has provided examples of bogus claims and phrases to watch out for, including "one product does it all and cures a wide variety of diseases and health problems" and "you'll get miraculous results." The best thing to do is to speak to a medical professional about health concerns and report fraudulent health messages to the FTC.
