Flow warns customers about increase in scams

FLOW Barbados is alerting its customers to a growing wave of phishing scams targeting mobile and Internet users.

The telecommunications provider yesterday reported an increase in fraudulent emails and messages, masquerading as official Flow communications, including e-bills and promotional offers.

“These messages are designed to look legitimate but contain links or attachments that can compromise devices, steal personal information, or even allow criminals to misuse your mobile number,” the company said in a statement.
