Scam and phishing emails, messages, or SMS texts
"Phishing" is when scammers send emails or text messages to trick you into giving them your personal information. These emails and messages can impersonate a company or business.
Tips to avoid phishing and other scams
- Make sure your internet browser is on www.reverb.com before signing in to your account or entering any personal information.
- Don't share sensitive account details such as your password or bank account number. Reverb will never ask you for your password, bank account, or IBAN number in an email.
- Look for telltale signs of a phishing email, especially poor spelling and grammar or links requesting your password, bank account details, or credit card number. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with phishing email scams and how to recognize them here: http://www.onguardonline.gov/phishing.
- Use a strong password that you don't use for other websites. If you're worried about remembering it, we suggest using a password manager.
- Don't use the same password across multiple sites.
- Reverb will never text you about submitting or completing a payment.
