Don’t be a victim!
To avoid being a victim of fraud, remember three key rules: Never share personal information unexpectedly, slow down when pressured to act fast and verify contacts through social channels.
Common Warning Signs:
- Urgency: Scammers demand instant payment or quick choices
- Secret Demands: Scammers tell you not to talak to family or friends
- Strange Payments: Scammers ask to be paid via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency
Smart Prevention Steps:
- Hang up and call back: Use a trusted number from an official bill or website, not the number the caller gives you.
- Guard your info: Real banks and government offices will never call or text to ask for your passwords or Social Security Number.
- Check Accounts Often: Look at your bank and credit statements frequently to spot bad or unauthorized charges early.
