Scam Prevention Toolkit

Practical steps to protect yourself from various types of scams

Common Scam Types

Phishing Scams

Fake emails/texts pretending to be from legitimate organizations to steal login credentials.

Tech Support Scams

Callers claim your computer has viruses and request remote access or payment.

Romance Scams

Fake online relationships that eventually ask for money or gifts.

Prevention Checklist

Verify requests independently

Always contact organizations through official channels to confirm requests.

Enable two-factor authentication

Extra security layer protects accounts even if passwords are compromised.

Be skeptical of urgency

Scammers create false urgency ("act now or lose account"). Legitimate organizations don't.

Check for poor grammar/spelling

Many scam messages contain unusual phrasing or errors.

Research unknown numbers/emails

Search contact info online to see if others report it as fraudulent.

Report Scams

Help protect others by reporting scam attempts to official agencies.
