Received another scam going around where people are receiving pop up notifications on their cell phones from Apple Security or your bank security.

If you receive any texts or calls like this, report it to your local law enforcement. These people sound convincing, but no legitimate business such as Apple or a bank will contact you and demand money.

We are also seeing an increase in Bitcoin scams. Like we have just said, these are almost always scams, so do not give any personal information. If you think it sounds suspicious, it probably is a scam.
