Recognize Common Scams
Email/Phishing Scams:
- Look out for spelling mistakes, unusual sender addresses, or urgent requests.
- Don’t click links or open attachments from unknown sources.
Phone/Tech Support Scams:
- Scammers may call claiming to be your bank or Microsoft. Legitimate companies won’t ask for passwords or remote access unsolicited.
- Hang up and verify through official contact channels.
Fake Banking Alerts:
- Banks won’t ask you to “confirm” sensitive info via email or message.
- Always log in through official apps or websites, not links in messages.
Online Shopping Scams:
Check seller ratings, and use reputable platforms for purchases.
Avoid deals that look “too good to be true.”
