ENTER HEADER NAME HERE AVOIDING SCAMS
Avoiding Online Scams • Avoid phishing scams by keeping a healthy skepticism of all incoming email, even those that claim to be from your financial institution. • Never open a link in a suspicious email. • Fraudsters will use urgent pop-up messages or online ads to promote fake antivirus or malicious software (malware). Clicking the link triggers the malware to install and immediately begins searching your device for personal information, destroying files and can lock you out of your device, among other issues. • Bogus shopping websites will advertise incredible deals on expensive items. Be sure to research a website before making any online purchases. • Fraudsters will use social media to live behind a fake identity. Never give out sensitive information or money to someone you don’t know personally. SAMPLE
