Addressing Common Scams

Current prevalent scams often involve a pretense of urgency and impersonation. For example, victims may receive calls about missing jury duty or about problems with an unrequested loan application, compelling them to share personal information. Another common scheme involves fake emails from organizations pressing for donations under false pretenses, such as claiming a matching donor offer. These scams rely on creating urgency and impersonating legitimate entities, urging individuals to act quickly and without caution, underscoring the importance of verifying the source before responding.
