Every day, scammers pretend to be your bank, a loved one, the government, or law enforcement. Their texts, emails, and phone calls are meant to trick you into providing confidential information. Here are signs of a scam and ways to “slay” scammers:
– You’re pressured to open a link – BLOCK!
– You’re called unexpectedly and asked not to tell anyone – HANG UP!
– You’re emailed an attachment you didn’t expect – HIT DELETE!
– You’re asked for personal or financial information – HANG UP!
– You’re pressured to log into or send money with payment apps – BLOCK!
– You’re asked to click, pay, or respond – VERIFY FIRST!
