Know the Red Flags
Scammers use a variety of methods to defraud unsuspecting victims. The most common are fake emails (phishing), text messages and voice calls but always be alert for new techniques. It is likely a scam if you are:
- Pressured to send money
- Threatened with law enforcement action
- Told to purchase gift cards for payment
- Asked to send cash, check or a wire transfer to a stranger
