SAN DIEGO — A text scam featuring an unknown woman has been reported all over the country.
The text messages are another ploy to get your personal information or money, according to cybersecurity experts.
“[She] asked if I was Ivan. They said their name was Veda and that we matched on Bumble,” Roussell said. “I had never had Bumble, so I already knew it wasn’t me.”“A lot of them are getting your phone numbers, either through lists they purchase… from places like the dark web,” said Ronnie Rast, a cybersecurity expert with Independent Security Evaluators.
“They're going to take that and use it against you and say… I know who your employer is. I have this. sensitive picture of you,” Rast said. “[They’ll say] if you don't send me whatever the amount is that they want, I'm going to share this.”
