Security & Fraud Awareness Tips: Fraudster Tactics
- Scammers pretend to be someone you trust. They make themselves seem believable by pretending to be connected with a company or a government agency you know.
- Scammers create a sense of urgency. They rush you into making a quick decision before you look into it more.
- Scammers use intimidation and fear. They tell you that something terrible is about to happen to get you to send a payment before you have a chance to check out their claims.
- Scammers use untraceable payment methods. They often want payment through wire transfers, reloadable cards or gift cards that are nearly impossible to reverse or track.
