Scams can happen at any time and to anyone. Take extra precautions and be leery of phone calls, emails or other communications that seem strange.
Be sure to follow these tips to avoid common scams.
- If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
- NEVER give your SSN, passwords or pin numbers to an incoming call.
- Beware of threats meant to scare you into giving money/information.
- Not sure about an email? DON’T click any links. Visit the official homepage.
- Think it’s a scam? Tell police or ask a trusted advisor.
- Buying tickets to an event? Utilize only approved resale tickets options over any other resale ticket options.
