SCAM ON SCAM: New Tactic Used by Scammers

As technology advances, scammers get smarter too. They are finding new ways to trick people. One new method they are using is called SCAM ON SCAM. Its important to learn about this technique so you can stay aware and protect yourself. In this article, we will tell you about the SCAM ON SCAM method.

In this Tactic, Scammers target victims who have already fallen for another scam. For example, a person who has been tricked into giving away personal information or money to a fraudulent company may receive a second scam email, phone call, or message. The second scam often claims to help the victim recover their losses or to act as a mediator between the victim and the so-called “official” recovery service. These scammers take advantage of the victim's vulnerability, promising restitution but instead asking for more money or personal data, further deepening the victim's financial loss and sense of insecurity.

This “scam on scam” approach highlights how scammers are increasingly sophisticated in exploiting emotions such as fear, urgency, and the hope of resolving a prior loss. The second scam targets individuals who are already distressed after the first scam, making them more likely to fall for these fraudulent offers.
