🚨Stay vigilant against scams and safeguard your personal information. Are you prepared to protect yourself and your finances?
🔸️Gift card scams🔸️
Be cautious if you are asked to purchase gift cards under the guise of payment for back taxes, services, or to help a loved one in trouble. Remember, government authorities do not accept gift cards as payments.
🔸️QR code scams🔸️
Do you want to see what’s on a QR code? Use your phone’s camera when scanning QR codes instead of downloading a QR reader app, which can have ads that lead to phishing websites. Avoid using unfamiliar apps.
🔸️Online purchase scams🔸️
Social media online ads with eye-catching sales are being created that impersonate a reputable store. The ad’s link will take you to a website that appears legitimate, but will potentially steal your information.
