After telling my mom numerous times not to click on any links from any texts or emails, today, she thought this UPS undeliverable mail link was fine to click on because of a package she thought she was getting from my brother who lives overseas. She ended up providing her name, address, phone number, birthdate, and 2 credit card (debit cards) info! Thankfully we caught it ASAP and froze/cancelled all associated accounts so no money was lost. However, I’m more worried about her identity and private information being leaked to the dark web. The address she used was mine to because she lives with me. What could the worse happen? Will scammers track her/ us down since they know where she lives? Will they sell her info to the dark web? Will she get more scam attempts? I’m really worried.
