What to Watch For:
Scammers often create a false sense of urgency through emails, texts, or phone calls that ask you to click a link, verify account information, or make a payment. Before taking action, verify the sender, inspect links carefully, and never share passwords or financial information through unsolicited messages.
What to Do:
Pause before you click, use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication. It's always a best practice to exit the email, text or notification and go directly to your provider using trusted links or phone numbers rather than clicking any links or opening any unexpected attachments. A few seconds of caution can prevent identity theft, financial loss, and compromised accounts
