How to stop Voicemail email spam

0
Voicemail email spam is one of many email spam campaigns employed by cybercriminals around the web. It is designed to make users believe they received an actual voice message. One such email letter that got under our observation displayed information caller's name, number, and also the duration of the voicemail. In order to open this voicemail, users are given instructions to click on the button ("Preview voicemail") or link and enter their log-in details (email address and password). While such email letters may vary in their content, the purpose usually remains the same - to urge inexperienced users into entering their log-in credentials on a phishing page or downloading some malicious file/program. Please note that entering personal data on such websites is dangerous and will most likely expose your log-in credentials to cybercriminals. If the entered details are correct, this will allow cybercriminals to hijack associated accounts and steal them afterward. The stolen accounts may therefore be used for scamming other people by impersonating the account owner's name, for instance, on various social media. And since such people may identify the user as a person they already know, they are more likely to perform actions requested by cybercriminals (e.g., lend money, open a malicious link/file, and so forth). Furthermore, cybercriminals may also attempt to access banking-related accounts and perform unauthorized transfers of money. If you became a victim of voicemail email or other spam techniques, immediately change your passwords for accounts that might be in danger. It is highly recommended to create different passwords for each account in use as it will decrease the risk of major account loss/damage in case of a password leak. Read our guide below to find out about how fraudulent schemes tend to infect systems; what one should do if he detects a scam; if an e-mail is continuously under consistent spam attacks; and other steps to keep your e-mail spam-free.
