- With more and more people using the Internet both in their business and private life. Here's some bad news for you: it's getting way harder to protect yourself against scammers because now they've started to target - brace yourself - your Google Calendar! In short, this scam uses hyperlink-embedded events to get access to your sensitive information. Let's figure out how the scam goes.

SUMMARY:
- Cybercriminals begin to spam your Google Calendar with tons of alluring calendar events. Once the event is added, Google will start to send you notifications. As soon as you hit the hyperlink attached to the text, it’ll take you to a special form where you'll need to enter your personal information, from your family name to your credit card number!
- Open your Google Calendar, go to Settings, choose Event Settings, and look for "Automatically Add Invitations." There, select "No, only show invitations to which I've responded."
- Imagine you're at the airport or in a coffee shop and in urgent need of the Internet. But what you don't know is that this network has been set up by a con artist and is connected to their laptop. As soon as you join the hotspot, they’ll immediately have access to your computer or cell phone.
- Make sure that your device doesn't join any open Wi-Fi network automatically. Switch on "Ask to join new networks" option and turn off your Wi-Fi when you’re not using it.
- Recently, Netflix customers have started to receive fraudulent emails that claim to be sent by Netflix itself. Inside, there are messages that encourage you to click on a malicious link and provide your personal data, as well as your payment information.
- Do NOT enter your financial and personal details after you've followed a link in a text message or an email.
- The "hitman scam" is another scheme that’s recently become popular. One day, you get a threatening email with money demands. This scam may have different variations, from a threat to kidnap a family member to a promise to damage your property.
- Admittedly, this scam is the most psychologically scary, but if you're in doubt, it’s better to notify the police and don't transfer any money to the criminals.
- To avoid being tricked, don’t follow any links you get via email and don't click on any suspicious web addresses you may come across on social media.
- If you get a disconcerting message encouraging you to check your social media, visit your account via the network's app. If you don't have this app on your gadget, type the web address of the page directly into the address bar.
- Do NOT give strangers remote access to your computer - they may easily install malicious software.

Galaxy SpinnerX OMG MY DAD GETS THOSE CALLS
@@itz_funny_leslyewithleslye6590 Its annoying
LINDSAY CALDERON FIGUEROA same
Did you just say.. GOOGLE CALENDAR?!
Me: *Falls off the chair*
Usually if there's a problem with a hacked PC it gets sent away to be assessed and you're told to change all your passwords..
Rule of thumb. If you didn't ask for it, don't accept it.
Thank you for this information Bright Side. I need to secure all my accounts now. And yeah !!! Thanks for the tips as well.
Thank u for the calendar info. At first I just silenced the notifications and know I know how to block em.
Yes, calendar keeps notifying me even when i deleted it
i immediately force-stopped and disabled my calendar. thanks.
I'm always the lucky guy that won all those latest brand of smartphones!! ......but only through the online scam.
Lol same
from converge i just one an iphone 12 but we still dont know if its a scam or not a scam
Hey... Bright side...Can u make a Video about The Famous Area 51..

Good thing I don't use my calendar
No I'm using my calendar everyday 😄
Jokes on you I use a paper calendar
I’m a kid on my mom’s iPad who is annoyed of the calendar busy watching TH-cam and playing roblox and stuff while me raging by the calendar so I decided to act like the calendar never existed
Why not play Minecraft?
It’s truly the best game
Thank you bright side im a kid and my mom told me to be careful in the internet and this helped me well 😊😇
This actually happened to me once in Instagram and i told them “ what do u mean? I haven’t joined any contest “ too bad I haven’t sawn this video first
For the Netflix one, I got that and I went to Netflix and saw everything just fine so I just ignored it.
The thing is, that's not my payment, it's my stepdad's.
Now that you've mention it i remember i got one also, it says my payment needed to be up date, because i couldn't get to watch anything that day. When my son checked it out with Netflix my payment didn't went through so it was okay after that.
I'm so glad that my son always handle all incoming emails when i don't understand where they're coming from
Sion K - Check the actual website to see if you are actually up to date. I hope you're safe 💗
Scammer:U GOT A PRIZE!!!
Me: eh, I never look at google callender, I don’t use it, AND I don’t look at notifications
This is on my Google rn. Thank you so much brightside.
If somebody calls and says “YOUR PC IS IN DANGER OPEN IT“ JOKES ON YOU BOTH OF THEM ARE BROKEN
Thank you bright side your videos are always helpful

Thank you for sharing this video, BRIGHT SIDE! I will tell my father about these schemes.
Um I’m watching this video at the food court in a airport and I’m using a hotspot...
The dislikes are from people that scam people
Luckily I'm extremely paranoid so I never got scammed
That’s the exact reason I have not gotten scammed in my life
@Rozeya Lovegirl Same

I almost got scammed once
This started on my grandpas phone a few months ago and it’s still happening.
For the Netflix account scam, I get texts all the time!! The funny thing is I don’t even have a Netflix account 😂😂
PFFFT
I'm not a Netflix lover I'm a TH-cam lover
Early squad where you guys at?!
Ksa
@@jihadade156 me to
When it comes to scammers I pay no mind to messages that gets sent and would often get ignored and deleted. Now if I can just block them I would be all set. ( I would just need some tips how to do that and then it would be settled once and for all)!!!
If you see a winning prize notification, delete it
Me who just joined a legit promo: *confused screaming*
Online I always get redirected to these scams that say “You’ve made the 2 billionth search!” or something along those lines
Haha Im lucky I never check my email messages 😂😂😂
I don't have an email lucky me
My mom is very intelligent she always deletes those " you won a prize " message
The dislikes are from the scammers
Those people who fell to this scam was so greeeeeedy
I just realised I have commented on this video 3 times now
WHO ELSE LOVES BRIGHT SIDE
BTW i’m a TH-camr too
Me
Same
And??
Stop self promoting without consent
Me
If someone said my computer was hacked I would say my computer? I don’t own one 😂
Whenever I get a call from Scam Likely, I just hang up immediately.
Thanks! I had a Google Scam! When I was looking through TH-cam, I found this video, and I didn't click it! Thanks for protecting my phone!
I have a friend that scams scammers when they try to scam him.he makes me laugh a lot
Most underrated comments ever are on this video
Do the scammers fall for it? That would be an interesting outcome
Lmaoooooooooooooooooooo9oo

Aidan Woodward shhhh •+•
If you can •*•
These Scams Have Been Going On A For Year. Now They Do This To Calendars
Big brain moves to avoid being hacked:
1: become toxic
2: call the dialer and tell to him that he won
3: tell steps to the dialer on how to win the prize FAKELY
4: say "now go to the trash, cause it has your win oppertunity"
5: *SCAM HIM*
Who watching this video checked there messages for "You won",
Very usefull and awesome video, thank you bright side.
BRIGHT SIDE: Never open suspicious E-mails!
My school e-mail: Edu-planet download now!!!!
* Me deletes it *
So true 🤣😂🤣😂
If that happens i be like ._.
Me: *Gets Netflix email scam*
Also me: Jokes on you I dont have Netflix account
Well all the dislikes are from scammers
5:22 Or Just notify security and let them know about this threatening message before deleting it. The officers may trace the the Email address, but they might relocate to an innocent.
My mom got scammed and they took more then $1000 from her credit card
