Scam Awareness and Prevention
Stay Ahead of Scams: Protect Yourself from Fraud As scams evolve, it’s essential to stay informed about the latest tactics. Common scams include phishing emails, fake tech support calls, and fraudulent social media accounts impersonating businesses. To protect yourself:
- Be cautious of unsolicited messages: If you didn’t initiate contact, be wary of emails, texts, or calls asking for personal information.
- Verify before you act: Scammers often create urgency. Take time to verify by contacting the company or person directly using official channels.
Watch for suspicious links and attachments: If unsure, don’t click. If you suspect you’re being targeted, trust your instincts, and report the activity to relevant authorities. Stay vigilant and protect your finances from potential scams.
