Red flags: How to recognize a scam
Scammers are deceptive and persistent. Always pause and take a closer look at the situation. If you notice any of the following, it’s likely a scam:
🚩 You’re asked to send money urgently or keep it a secret
🚩 The message contains typos or awkward phrasing
🚩 The offer seems too good to be true (it probably is)
🚩 The message or caller pressures you to act right away
🚩 You’re asked to move the conversation to another platform
