🚨WARNING: GOOGLE ACCOUNT SCAM CALLS ARE EXPLODING 🚨
https://youtu.be/Qh78Q4xOZ04?feature=shared

We are seeing a massive increase in fake “Google Security” phone calls targeting BOTH personal users and businesses.

The scammers are spoofing numbers like:

📞 650-203-0000
📞 818-570-3002
📞 818-392-4769
📞 650-539-9274
📞 650-227-2088

The caller may claim:
❌ “Someone is changing your Gmail password.”
❌ “Your Google account was hacked.”
❌ “Suspicious activity was detected.”
❌ “Someone uploaded ID documents.”
❌ “Press 1 to secure your account.”

Then they pressure you into:
⚠️ Reading verification codes
⚠️ Approving login prompts
⚠️ Installing remote access software
⚠️ Giving account recovery information

🚨 IMPORTANT:
The Google verification prompt may actually be REAL.

The SCAMMER triggered it while attempting to log into YOUR account.

They create panic, so you approve the login request yourself.

Once approved, attackers may gain access to:
• Gmail
• Photos
• Passwords
• Business email
• Saved payment methods
• Google Drive
• Microsoft 365 accounts
• Company systems

⚠️ Google will NEVER randomly call you about your account.
⚠️ Microsoft will NEVER randomly call you about your account.
⚠️ Apple will NEVER randomly call you about your account.

🔐 HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF:
✔ Never share verification codes
✔ Never approve prompts you didn’t initiate
✔ Use authenticator apps instead of SMS when possible
✔ Review connected devices regularly
✔ Change passwords immediately if unsure
✔ Enable advanced account security

This scam is targeting:
• Small businesses
• Employees
• Elderly users
• Gmail users
• Microsoft 365 users
• Remote workers
• Google Workspace accounts

If you receive one of these calls:
📌 Hang up immediately
📌 Do NOT press any buttons
📌 Do NOT call the number back

Please SHARE this post to help protect others. Someone you know may receive this exact scam call next.

🌸🥳Happy Eid-e Nowruz to all Persians around the world🥳 🌸

This Nowruz is unlike any other in our lifetime. For the first time in decades, the shadow that darkened PERSIA is gone.
A new dawn rises for Persia, a new beginning filled with hope, strength, and unity.

Nowruz is the celebration of rebirth.
Just as the earth renews itself, so does a nation.

May this year mark the rebuilding of a free and proud Persia, a land inspired by the vision of Cyrus the Great: freedom of religion, dignity for all people, no slavery, and respect among nations.

May the spirit of our ancestors guide us toward peace, strength, and prosperity.
May Iran stand tall again.
May alliances of peace replace decades of division.
May the Persian people rebuild with wisdom and courage.

God bless the United States, Israel and Persia.

Thank you, Mr. President Trump, for a historic Eid-e Nowruz (Eid e)
one that many Iranians will remember as one of the most significant in our lifetime.

May God protect you.

Eid-e Nowruz Mobarak.
Zendeh Bad Iran. 🌿🦁☀️
