Watch Out for Scammers

In today’s digital age, scams and fraudulent activities have become increasingly sophisticated and prevalent. From phishing emails to fake online stores, scammers are constantly finding new ways to deceive unsuspecting victims. As consumers, it’s crucial to be vigilant and well-informed to protect ourselves from falling into their traps. Spotting the Red Flags Unauthorized Use of Branding: Our employees will be in shirts that have authorized agent printed on it, as well as empire branding such as logo and our “Got Fiber?” slogan. Scammers can easily create counterfeit merchandise. Our employees will also have their official Empire Access badge on them. If you are still unsure cross-check the legitimacy of the seller by visiting the Empire Access website or call 800-338-3300. Confirm if there are employees in the area and if the merchandise matches. Quickly: Scammers often create a sense of urgency, pressuring potential victims to make impulsive decisions. Legitimate sellers don’t usually rush customers into buying something. Unusual Contact Information: Be wary of contact information provided by the seller. Look up the official contact details of the company independently and reach out to them to verify the legitimacy of the offer. No Online Presence: If the seller lacks a professional online presence, such as an official website or verified social media accounts, it’s a sign that something might be off. Protecting Yourself from Scams Research Protecting yourself from scams requires a combination of awareness, caution, and verification. Scammers are always coming up with new tactics, but by staying informed and being vigilant, you can greatly reduce your risk of falling victim to their schemes. Remember, Empire Access and our employees have proper channels for communication and verification. If you ever have doubts, it’s better to reach out to us directly using official contact information rather than risking your hard-earned money. Stay safe and stay smart!
