Avoid Spoofing FraudScammers are getting creative these days. One of the latest scams across the United States involves spoofing. When a scammer calls from what looks like Cedar Point’s phone number or emails from what looks like a legitimate Cedar Point email address, that’s a spoofing attack. After spoofing the phone number or email, the scammer takes advantage of a person’s trusting nature and extracts information he or she might need to access accounts. Remember, Cedar Point will never call you to ask for your account information, card numbers, PIN numbers, login credentials, or verification codes. These are all things a scammer can use to attempt to access your accounts. If you receive a call, text or email asking for personal information from a phone number or email address claiming to be Cedar Point, do not respond. Instead, call Cedar Point at 301-863-7071 to verify the legitimacy of the call, text, or email. Also, remember to never give out your debit or credit card information. |
