π¨ Don't Become the Next Scam Victim! π¨
Scammers are getting more sophisticated every day, and they're targeting people of all ages through phone calls, text messages, emails, social media, and fake websites.
Here are a few ways to protect yourself:
πΉ Never give out personal information over the phone unless YOU initiated the call.
πΉ Be suspicious of urgency. Scammers want you to panic and act quickly.
πΉ Don't trust caller ID. It can be spoofed to appear as your bank, the IRS, Microsoft, Amazon, or even a local phone number.
πΉ Never allow remote access to your computer unless you know exactly who you're working with. πΉ Verify before you pay. Gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, and payment apps are favorite tools of scammers. This is an immediate give away.
πΉ Watch for suspicious links in emails, texts, and social media messages.
πΉ If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
π‘ The biggest warning sign? That uneasy feeling in your gut.
If you're talking to someone on the phone, receive a strange email, get a suspicious text message, or something just doesn't feel right, STOP before you click, pay, or provide information.
