Below are a few ways you can avoid becoming a victim of a scam provided by the Federal Trade Commission:
- Scammers pretend to be someone you trust. They impersonate a company or government agency you know to get you to pay. But it’s a scam.
- Scammers create a sense of urgency, intimidation and fear. They want you to act before you have a chance to check out their claims. Don’t let anyone rush you to pay or to give sensitive business information.
- Scammers ask you to pay in specific ways. They often demand payment through wire transfers, crypto-currency or gift cards. Don’t pay anyone who demands payment this way. It’s a scam.
