How can I spot a scam message quickly?
Stop and think before you tap. There is a good chance it’s a scam if the message:
-
Is unexpected and tries to make you act immediately
-
Asks you to click a link, call a number in the message, or download an attachment
-
Says your account has been hacked, locked or will be closed if you don’t act now
-
Asks you to move money, buy gift cards, or share personal or banking details
-
Comes from a strange email address or number, or doesn’t use your name
