BEWARE OF EMAIL & TEXT SCAMS
PHISHING is an attack that attempts to steal your money, or your identity, by getting you to reveal personal information--such as credit card numbers, bank information, or passwords. Cybercriminals typically pretend to be reputable companies, friends, or acquaintances in a fake message, which contains a link to a phishing website.
OLG would NEVER solicit funds through any electronic means. If you do receive one of these texts or emails and are unsure, DO NOT OPEN IT and report these to Jay at 510-537-0806. God Bless and be safe!
