Criminals are skilled at convincing consumers to trust them, pay them and act fast. Here are “red flags” that you may be dealing with a scammer:
- You’re pressured to log into or send money with payment apps.
- You’re contacted out of the blue, asked to act immediately and keep it a secret.
- You get a text that includes a suspicious link.
- You’re emailed an attachment that you weren’t expecting.
- You’re asked for personal information like your PIN number, passwords or Social Security number.
