The internet is full of people that want to scam you out of your hard earned money. Connect wants help you to protect your money and your data. Here are some tips to protect yourself online.
Beware of Phishing
1. What is phishing? Phishing is a type of online scam where attackers impersonate a trusted company to steal personal information. These scams often come in the form of emails and fake profiles that look official but contain fraudulent links or requests for sensitive information.
2. What are Connect's official email addresses and socials? Connect will only contact you from the following approved email addresses:
To ensure you receive important communications, add these email addresses to your safe sender list.
To find all the official Connect socials go Connect's official link tree: https://linktr.ee/connect.win
3. How can I spot a phishing attempt? Be cautious of emails and socials media that come from addresses that look similar but are not official, such as:
- support@connectunited.co (instead of .com)
- events@connect-united.com
- connectunited-support@gmail.com
Contain urgent messages demanding immediate action (e.g., "Your account has been locked! Click here to recover it.") Ask you to enter your 12-word recovery phrase—Connect will NEVER ask for this. Include links that redirect to suspicious-looking websites.
4. What should I do if I receive a suspicious email or spot a fake social account? Do not click on any links or open attachments. Verify the sender’s email address carefully. If unsure, visit support.connectunited.com and contact support directly.
5. How do I protect my 12-word recovery phrase?
- NEVER enter your recovery phrase into any email link.
- The only time you should enter your 12-word phrase is when logging into your Connect back office at https://web.connectunited.com/login.
6. How do I ensure I’m using the correct Connect websites? Always navigate to official Connect websites:
- connectunited.com
- https://web.connectunited.com/login
- support.connectunited.com
Scammers may create fake websites that look similar, such as:
- connect-united.com
- connectunited.io
- webconnectunited.com
- connectunited-login.com
If a website seems suspicious, do not enter any personal information.
In conclusion be skeptical of everything you see online. You never know who is on the other end of an email, social media profile, or website. There are whole groups of people that are dedicated to steal your money and data. When you are in doubt please reach out to trusted sources like support.connectunited.com.
