Scam Trends to Watch For: Misleading Search Results

Scammers are becoming increasingly deceptive and are using new tactics to obtain personal and account information — often by impersonating companies you trust. Many people are familiar with "scam calls," where scammers pressure you to share sensitive information while pretending to be from a legitimate company. But did you know scammers also attempt to trick you into calling them?

Relying on a quick Google or Bing search to find a company's phone number may seem convenient, but it's also one of the easiest ways for scammers to mislead you. They can create fake, or "spoofed," websites designed to look like a company's official webpage and push them into search results. They can also purchase sponsored ads displaying what appears to be a legitimate customer service or repair number but instead route you to a third-party call center.

Be Cybersmart! When you need to contact a company, always use verified sources:
  • Visit the company’s official website and use the contact information listed there.
  • Check the URL carefully for misspellings.
  • Look for consistent branding, correct grammar, and information that aligns with the company’s real promotions.
  • Refer to your billing statement, which includes official customer service and support numbers.
  • Avoid dialing numbers pulled directly from search engine results, online ads, or pop-ups.
We want you to feel confident protecting your personal and account information. Learn more about scam attempts and additional ways to stay protected at focusbroadband.com/news.
