SCAM ALERT

 

Scammers Target Everyone.

 

DO NOT give scammers money or personal information - Ignore them!

 

Tips to Recognize Scammers:

 

Research and Verify: Before sharing personal information or making payments, research the company or individual online for reviews, ratings, and reported scams.

 

Protect Personal Information: Never share sensitive information like passwords, SSNs, or financial details with unknown parties, as legitimate organizations won't request such data through unsolicited calls or emails.

 

Protect Your Money: Beware of scammers who demand payment via untraceable methods like gift

cards, prepaid debit cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, money transfers, or cash by mail.

 

Stay Informed: Keep up to date with the latest scam tactics and share information within your community.

 

Too Good to Be True: Be cautious of promises of easy money or unrealistic rewards.

 

Avoid Urgency Pressure: Take your time to verify before committing to pressure tactics.

 

Stay Alert to Unsolicited Requests: Watch out for unexpected requests for personal information or payment.

 

Verify URLs: Check links to ensure they match the expected destination and avoid phishing scams.
