BE SCEPTICAL

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be wary of unsolicited calls, emails, or visits offering services or requesting personal information.

GUARD YOUR INFORMATION

Never share personal or financial information over the phone or online unless you initiated the contact and are certain of the recipient's legitimacy.

STAY INFORMED

Keep up-to-date with the latest scam alerts and educate yourself and your loved ones about common scam tactics.

SECURE YOUR DEVICES

Use strong, unique passwords for online accounts and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Keep your devices and antivirus software up-to-date.

DON’T RUSH

Scammers often create a sense of urgency to pressure you into making quick decisions. Take your time and verify the legitimacy of any requests or offers.

If you suspect you or a loved one has been targeted by a scam, don't hesitate to seek help from trusted family members, friends, or authorities.
