stimulus, free government money SCAMS straight to your phone notifications, thanks to Google ads.
There has been a good deal of discussion and articles here regarding scams and this one in particular. I decided that this reached a new level for me personally today when i bought a new phone and within the first few hours, i got notifications from Google, both of which where alleged "stimulus" check and free government money ads that are bait to scamming sites. Google has little interest in controlling this because of the enormous advertising profits they are raking in from these scammers... and these were among the FIRST notifications to come through on my smartphone and...
they are from the maker of the Operating System which comes on the phone... and they ARE SCAMS!!!.
safety and privacy online will NEVER be given to you just because that is what is right...
you must protect and educate yourself and your loved-ones on your own, because no one else will do it for you. NO COMPANY has your best interests at heart whenever those conflict with their bottom-line.
beware online.
good lucks!
