In today’s digital landscape, scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their attempts to deceive individuals and steal sensitive personal information. At Baxi, we’re committed to your safety, and in this comprehensive guide, we’ll equip you with the knowledge to identify and protect yourself from phishing messages and calls.
Recognizing Phishing Messages and Calls
Unsolicited Communications
Be cautious of messages and calls from unknown or suspicious sources. Phishing attempts often come in the form of unsolicited emails, texts, or phone calls, aiming to gain your trust and access to your accounts.
Grammatical Errors
Phishing messages frequently contain incorrect grammar and spelling mistakes, indicating a potential scam.
Verify the Sender’s Details
Always double-check the email address or phone number of the sender to ensure they match our official contact information.
Urgency and Threats
Phishing messages create a sense of urgency or employ threats to pressure you into taking immediate action. Be wary of such tactics.
Personalization
Legitimate communications from Baxi will often include your full name, while phishing messages are typically generic and impersonal.
Verify URLs
Phishers may use fake websites with URLs similar to ours. Ensure the link matches the official Baxi website before clicking. Our website is www.baxibox.com and our corporate website is www.mfsafrica.com
Avoid Sharing Sensitive Information
Never provide personal details like PINs, passwords, or OTPs to anyone. Baxi will never request such sensitive information from you.
