Scams come in many forms—whether it is a suspicious text, a phishing email, an unexpected phone call, or a fake website. Scammers are always coming up with new ways to trick people, but you can protect yourself by staying alert. If you ever suspect you have been targeted by a scam, it is important to report it right away. Doing so helps keep you safe, protects others, and makes it harder for scammers to succeed.
