With so many different types of scams, it may seem overwhelming to know what to trust and what not to. When it comes down to it, scammers are looking for your personal information, including trying to access your computer or they are trying to scam you out of money by asking you to send them gift cards, wire money, asking for a bank transfer or cash.
When in doubt, hang up, don’t respond to any unknown texts or emails and don’t click any links sent to you from an unknown text or email. Most of all, don’t give out your personal or bank information!
