Beware of potentially malicious referendum spoilers

by The Gurus
December 4, 2018
in Scam Of The Week
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

On the day of the Scottish referendum, Get Safe Online has warned of early results messages.
 
The organisation warned that the long wait may cause people to lose their security knowledge, as major national or global events which attract widespread interest can also attract the attention of scammers.
 
It warned on emails, social media posts, texts, forums and instant messages which ‘reveal the results’ of the referendum at any point before the official result is announced from the Royal Highland Centre outside Edinburgh.
 
With that announcement due tomorrow morning, there are no exit polls today, so clicking on links in messages that claim to reveal the actual or anticipated results any time before this could send to you a hoax website, Get Safe Online warned.
