How fake security alerts work.
A fake sign-in warning sends you to a copy of a login page. The thief takes the password and code you type there.

2Unusual sign-in detected
Your account will be suspended today unless you confirm this sign-in. Verify your password and security code now.
3Secure my accountThree warning signs
- The warning tells you to act before you can check the account yourself.
- The name looks right, but the full email address does not.
- The link asks for a password, card, or sign-in code.
This made-up message uses a known scam pattern. It shows no real person, firm, or email.
Why it works
Fear makes one button feel like the safe choice. The fake login page then steals your password and sign-in code.
What to do now
- Open the service from your own bookmark or app, not from the message.
- If you typed a password, change it on the real site and sign out other sessions.
- Call the service and your bank if you shared a card or sent money.
