Puede ser difícil detectar las estafas de phishing. Por ejemplo, hemos tenido noticias de una de estas estafas en la que la gente recibe un mensaje de texto que dice que tiene un paquete en espera y que tiene que hacer clic en un enlace para obtener más información. Parece algo bastante inocente, ¿cierto? Lamentablemente, no lo es.

Los mensajes son enviados por estafadores. En algunos casos, están dirigidos a estudiantes universitarios. En esa versión, los estafadores envían mensajes de texto a estudiantes que regresan a clase diciéndoles que hay un paquete esperándolos — a veces dicen que el paquete está en espera desde la última primavera, cuando muchos estudiantes debieron dejar la residencia universitaria y volver rápidamente a casa.

Cualquiera sea el texto del mensaje, la regla es siempre la misma: Si recibes un mensaje de texto inesperado sobre un paquete, no hagas clic en ningún enlace. Si piensas que el mensaje puede ser legítimo, comunícate con la compañía usando un sitio web o un número de teléfono que te conste que es real. Pero no uses la información del mensaje de texto.

¿Por qué te conviene evitar hacer clic en el enlace? Después de hacer clic, te pueden engañar para que des información personal — y con esos datos los estafadores te pueden robar contraseñas, números de cuenta o de Seguro Social. Al hacer clic en estos enlaces también podrías permitir que los estafadores te descarguen programas maliciosos en tu dispositivo.

Important Updates from U.S. Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos

Dear Friends,   233 years ago today, our Founders altered the course of history, authoring the greatest political document ever. Now, more than ever, we are reminded of the challenge posed to us when they gave us the Constitution: “a republic if you can keep it.” Today, too many young people don’t know about what’s in our Constitution nor that our country is a revolutionary experiment of self-governance—one that guarantees the rights of all Americans. I’m at George Washington’s Mount Vernon today to encourage more parents and teachers to share and to teach our Constitution so our rising generation can learn about and learn from history in order to form “a more perfect union.” Our Constitution’s words and original meaning are ripe for rediscovery. So, let us recommit ourselves, today and every day, to learning about, celebrating and honoring our founding document. Happy Constitution Day! Secretary Betsy DeVos
