Once they have obtained this information, they can use it to perpetrate various types of fraud while impersonating their victims. Learn how to spot a scam, what to do if you are contacted unexpectedly, and get advice on how to stay safe.<\/p>\n<p>When your Criteo credentials get in the wrong hands, harm can be done to you and your company. Criteo will never send text messages or emails containing time-critical warnings instructing you to log in to your account and share privileged user data. We\u2019ll never issue you an ultimatum, nor will we ask you to authenticate yourself or verify your data outside of our secure communication channels.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch out for:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unexpected senders<\/strong> \u2013 If you don\u2019t know who sent a text or email message, then it could be a scam.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Text messages<\/strong> \u2013 At Criteo, we don\u2019t use text messages to contact you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alarming or urgent language<\/strong> \u2013 e.g. \u201cYou need to act now.\u201d A genuine text or email message will be written in a reasonable and calm way. Scams may use warning messages, threats of fraud, or problems with your account.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How an email greets you<\/strong> \u2013 Automatic Criteo emails will always greet you by title and surname, as in Dear [x]. Personal Criteo emails will always come from someone who knows your business and is reaching out regarding a topic about your account that you would be familiar with.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spelling mistakes<\/strong> \u2013 Scam texts and emails often look odd, with a messy layout and spelling mistakes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asks for personal information<\/strong> \u2013 Criteo will never ask you to provide your password, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, driver\u2019s license number, social security number, email address, or full name through text message or email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Erroneous Criteo email addresses<\/strong> \u2013 All of our email addresses end with criteo.com. There should never be any another word before or in between Criteo and .com. This is a genuine email: n.surname@criteo.com.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Requests to click on links that take you to a fake website<\/strong> \u2013 If there\u2019s a link in an email, always check it before you click. A link could look perfectly safe like https:\/\/www.criteo.com\/login\/, so make sure to hover your mouse over the link to preview the true URL. If you aren\u2019t certain, don\u2019t click on the link. Just visiting a bad website could infect your machine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Emails with unknown attachments<\/strong> \u2013 Never open an attachment unless you\u2019re sure it\u2019s legitimate and safe. Be particularly cautious of invoices from companies and contractors you\u2019re not familiar with. Some attachments contain viruses that install themselves when opened.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other things to look out for<\/strong>: fake bills, fake changes of bank accounts, &#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What to do<\/h3>\n<p>If you get a message or enter a website that seems odd, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Double check the URL<\/strong> \u2013 If you suspect you\u2019re on a fraudulent site, pause for a moment and check the address bar and make sure the URL reads: https:\/\/www.criteo.com\/, or one of our subdomains, like marketing.criteo.com.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not reply<\/strong> \u2013 Even if you think you know the sender, don\u2019t reply to a text or email message if it seems odd.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not open attachments<\/strong> \u2013 Scam texts and emails can put a virus on your phone or computer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not click on any links<\/strong> \u2013 Simply clicking on a malicious link could infect your machine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the ongoing phishing campaigns<\/strong> page <a href=\"\/br\/security\/phishing-campaigns-examples\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Talk to your contact<\/strong> at Criteo \u2013 Send a clean email to your contact at Criteo and we can help to check the text or email message.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Report a phishing attempt<\/strong> <a href=\"\/br\/security\/phishing-campaigns-examples\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information, reach out to your Criteo Account Strategist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to spot fake, fraudulent, spoofed, or phishing emails and messages &nbsp; Beware: Fraudsters are looking to get your Criteo credentials Hackers use emails and messages to deceive people into handing over sensitive personal information.
