Achievement Unlocked

Appearing on The TODAY Show on NBC to raise awareness about a dangerous financial scam targeting consumers during the busy holiday shopping season.

Thank you to investigative journalist Vicky Nguyen and the team at HUMAN (especially Gabriel Cirlig ) for bringing attention to this critical issue. The Phish ‘n’ Ships operation has been running over 200 fake online shops, deceiving hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting consumers. These counterfeit sites steal payment card information, fail to deliver the promised products, and have caused tens of millions of dollars in losses. Worse, they’ve left consumers with compromised credit cards and a lingering sense of vulnerability.

This story isn’t just about the financial impact—it’s about the growing risks to personal data and financial information as online shopping becomes more central to our lives. We’re grateful to NBC and Vicky for helping educate consumers on protecting themselves against these scams and reducing the chances of falling victim.
