Election scams are on the rise in Georgia

ATLANTA, Ga. (WJBF) – With less than weeks to go until election day, you may notice more texts, ads and political emails flood your inbox.

But state election leaders and cyber security experts are warning you of potential scammers trying to prey on your personal data.

State leaders say be wary of suspicious emails or texts which require you to click on a link. Scam messages usually have spelling mistakes or grammatical errors and that can be a red flag for phishing attempts by sending you a fake link that could be malware.

If you want to donate to a campaign, experts say don’t click on a link but instead go directly to the source website.
