Don't Take the Bait!
How to Spot the Top Scams
The Grandparent Scam
A caller impersonates your grandchild. They claim to be traveling abroad and need you to wire money for an emergency. They demand you not hang up, and may know other family members' names.
How to Avoid: Stall the caller and reach out to other family members to confirm the story.
Home Improvement Scam
A contractor lures you in with a low price. However, once construction begins, they "discover issues" and raise the price. They threaten to leave the job half completed if unpaid.
How to Avoid: Do your research to confirm a contractor is licensed to do business in your state.
Phishing Scam
A fake email that requests personal information or a password reset. Red flags of a phishing scam include poor spelling, outlandish threats and unusual sender email addresses.
How to Avoid: Check for poor spelling or grammar and avoid clicking any links.
Romance Scam
Criminals pose as potential suitors on online dating sites. They use highly-convincing manipulation tactics to bond with victims before asking for money or personal information.
How to Avoid: Don't send money or personal information to anyone you met online.
IRS and Debt Collection Scams
Caller claims to be from the IRS pr a debt collection agency. They threaten legal or financial consequences, even arrest, for unpaid taxes or debt.
