Avoid scams and safeguard your finances, business, and your self.
Q1. What are the most common scams?
The most common scams involve impersonation (government, tech support, family), fake prizes/lotteries, and phishing (emails/texts tricking you for info). Other prevalent scams include romance fraud, online shopping/investment fraud, fake check/overpayment schemes, and tech support scams, all leveraging urgency or emotional manipulation to steal money or personal data.
Q2. What are common scammer red flags?
Be on the lookout for these red flags: Being asked to pay money in order to receive a prize or get a job. Pressure to act immediately. Use of scare tactics, e.g. telling you a loved one is in danger, that your computer has been hacked or threatening arrest if you don't act now.
Q3. Can a scammer hack you if you reply to them?
You can't get hacked instantly just by responding to a scam text. But replying might expose vulnerabilities that could get you hacked in the future, so it's best not to respond at all.
Q4. How to verify if a person is real?
To find out if someone is real, use online verification tools like reverse image search to check their photos and search their name and other details online. If you are interacting with someone online, look for signs of a scam, such as a refusal to video chat, requests for money, or a story that seems too good to be true. For in-person relationships, genuine people tend to be transparent, empathetic, and treat others with respect, according to Forbes and the Times of India
Q5. What info should you never share?
Think before you post anything online or share information in emails. What you post online, can be seen by anyone. Sharing personal information with others you do not know personally is one of your biggest risks online. Sharing sensitive information such as your address, phone number, family members’ names, car information, passwords, work history, credit status, social security numbers, birth date, school names, passport information, driver’s license numbers, insurance policy numbers, loan numbers, credit/ debit card numbers, PIN numbers, and bank account information is risky and should be avoided. Consider removing your name from websites that share your personal information obtained from public records (including your phone number, address, social media avatars, and pictures) with anyone on the internet.
Q6. What not to send over email?
Examples of information you should never send via email include: Like Social Security numbers or any govt id number. Driver's License numbers. Passport numbers.
