WOW PAY Online Payment Scams
Several payment-related scams have come to light in recent months. WOW PAY is one of them. WOW Pay scams request you or your business to pay fake invoices for directory listings, advertising, package renewals, power of fast bill payments anywhere or office supplies that you did not order.
Your business might be sent an invoice, letter or invitation to be listed in a bogus trade directory,the scammer might phone you out of the blue to confirm details of an advertisement booking or insist you've ordered certain goods or services. This WOW PAY scams take advantage of the fact the person handling the administrative duties for the business may not know whether any advertising or promotional activities have actually been requested.
Many email-based ransomware scams use fake bill payments as attachments to infect your computer. If you receive an unexpected bill from a utility provider, do not open the attachment. WOW Pay always asked to pay current or past due charges, money transfer, gift cards, charity and these “payments” go to scammers instead.
To Avoid them: Do not seek help from strangers to complete payment transactions. Do not download apps, except official ones, recommended by seemingly-helpful people, even if they claim to be bank staff.
