Internet Safety - The Quiz

Oops! Wrong Answer!

The correct answer is:

Dear customer, Bank of America is closing your bank account. Please confirm your PIN at BankOAmerica.com/ XJY23VB to keep your account activated.

YOUR answer was:

Hello from Generations on Line, If you know somebody who could use a little help using the Internet, we might be able to help. Come see how at generationsonline.org

You may not have expected a text from “generationsonline.org” but there is nothing about this text to signal it is a scam. That said, if you suspect ANY text, delete it immediately.

The reason the bank text raises red flags is that the URL seems wrong AND a bank will NEVER ask you for your banking information or any private information. (To learn more about text safety, tap here to go to that tutorial.)
