Stay safe this week
- Verify before you trust. Any unexpected message asking for money or personal info deserves a slow second look. Call the company back on a number you find yourself.
- Talk to your family. Share one scam from this report at dinner. Older relatives and teens both benefit from knowing what is circulating right now.
- Lock down your accounts. Turn on two-factor authentication wherever you can, and check that your important account recovery emails still work.
- Report what you see. Forwarding suspicious texts and emails to your country's reporting service helps shut these operations down faster.
