Scams Are Getting Smarter—But So Are You
Here are some of the most common tactics scammers use to steal personal or financial information:
-
Imposter & Phishing Scams: Fraudsters pretend to be banks, government agencies, or charities, using realistic emails, texts, or ads to get you to click or share sensitive data.
- Urgency & Pay Yourself Scams: You’re told to act fast, claim a prize, avoid a penalty, or verify a suspicious transaction—only to be tricked into sending money.
- Utility & Tech Support Scams: Fake reps threaten to cut off your service or “help” with a tech issue, just to gain access to your device or payment info.
