SLPhone scams are getting more sophisticated, but a few habits can help you avoid becoming a victim:
Don’t trust caller ID, numbers can be spoofed.
Let unknown calls go to voicemail.
Never give out personal or financial information over the phone.
Slow down, scammers create urgency to pressure you.
Verify by calling the official number, not the one provided by the text or caller.
Be cautious of payment requests involving gift cards, wire transfers, or crypto.
Avoid engaging or pressing buttons on suspicious calls.
When in doubt, hang up and verify.
Taking a moment can save you from becoming a victim.
