Know the red flags that signal a scam

Scammers are constantly reinventing new ways to trick people. While their stories may change, their tactics remain the same. Being aware of these red flags should make you pause, verify, and help stay protected:

  • You're contacted out the blue

  • You're pressured to act immediately

  • You're asked to pay in unusual way

  • You're asked to provide personal or account information

  • It seems too good to be true

If you authorize a transfer or send money to a scammer, there's often little we can do to help get your money back.
