SCAMS & FRAUD
We are bombarded every day with phone calls, emails, advertising and social network messages from people attempting to get their hands on our money. Sometimes these messages are legitimate, but often they are not. Sometimes the message seems friendly. Sometimes the message is threatening. Sometimes the message appears to be from someone we know and love. Scammers have become increasingly sophisticated in their tactics. Consumers need to be increasingly skeptical in order to protect ourselves from these criminals, and to differentiate between the legitimate message and the fraudulent one. Scams & Fraud page has a short, and nonexclusive, list of some of the most reported scams and frauds, followed by links to various resources to help each citizen understand and better protect themselves from the scammers.
