I received a scam email asking me to pay for my water bill. I was surprised 🫢

Everyone, be careful 😅

Beware of fraud.

... Read more最近、水道局を名乗る詐欺ショートメールが増えているようです。私も実際に「【水道局】先月水道料金が未納です。断水を避けるため、下記リンクより早急にお手続きください。」というメッセージを受け取り、とても驚きました。このような詐欺メールは、緊急性を強調して焦らせ、すぐにリンクをクリックさせようとするのが特徴です。 本物の水道料金の支払い通知であれば、通常は郵送や公式のウェブサイトを通じて連絡がありますが、ショートメールで突然リンクを送ってくることは極めて少ないため、疑うべきです。もし届いた場合は、慌てずに公式の水道局の連絡先に直接問い合わせることが最も安全です。また、リンクをクリックしたり、個人情報を入力したりするのは避けましょう。 さらに、携帯電話のショートメールは簡単に送信元が偽装できるため、発信元番号だけで判断しないことも重要です。友人や家族にも知らせて、同様の詐欺被害を防ぐ啓発も大切です。この経験から学んだのは、詐欺メールには冷静に対処し、その信憑性を自分で確かめること。簡単にリンクを開かず、公式の確認を怠らない習慣をつけることが、自衛の第一歩だと実感しました。
