Mexico and Argentina Issue Advice on Responding to Online Scams

In Mexico's northern city of Ciudad Juárez, experts advise victims of internet fraud to act within the first hour by securing compromised accounts, documenting the sequence of events, and reporting the incident to the financial institution to preserve evidence and possibly halt further loss.

In Argentina, a 30% rise in social‑engineering scams since 2020 has prompted banks and security agencies to urge users to recognize phishing attempts, enable two‑factor authentication, and seek immediate assistance from their bank and authorities if they suspect fraud. Financial education and prompt reporting are emphasized as key defenses in both countries.
