Scammers may try to call or text you, pretending to be from WyHy, and claim that you need to send money via wire transfer to fix an issue or reverse fraud on your account. Don’t fall for it — this is a scam!

Phishing: Suspicious Calls, Emails, & Texts

What’s Happening?

Phishing scams often involve emails, calls, or texts that look legitimate but are designed to trick you into sharing personal information or visiting fake websites. These messages may ask you to click a link, open an attachment, or enter details like your account number or password. Opening suspicious attachments could give scammers access to your computer or device.

Scammers Posing as Tech Support

What’s Happening?

Scammers may impersonate tech support from a well-known company, reaching out via phone, text, email, or even pop-up windows. They claim there’s an issue with your device, like a virus or a billing problem, and offer to help you resolve it. By following their instructions, you might unknowingly grant them remote access to your computer, putting your personal information at risk.
