What are Common Types of Spoofed Communication in Cancer Care?
1. Email Scams: Emails that seem to originate from well-known cancer research organizations or healthcare providers, but contain malicious links or requests for personal information. 2. Phishing: Fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by disguising as a trustworthy entity. 3. Fake Social Media Accounts: Profiles that mimic those of legitimate cancer support groups or medical professionals, spreading misinformation or soliciting donations. 4. Misleading Advertisements: Ads for miracle cures or alternative treatments that lack scientific backing, preying on the hope and desperation of cancer patients.
