1. Scammers PRETEND to be from an organization you know.
They will say they are contacting you from a government agency,
business or charity and even change the number on your caller ID.

2. Scammers say there’s a PROBLEM or a PRIZE.
They might say you’re in legal trouble, owe money or there’s an
emergency. You may also be told you won money but must pay a
claim fee.

3. Scammers PRESSURE you to act immediately.
On the phone, they might tell you not to hang up so you can’t check
out their story. They might threaten an arrest, lawsuit, take away your
license or say your computer is going to be corrupted.

4. Scammers tell you to PAY in a specific way.
They often insist you must pay via cryptocurrency, wiring money, a
payment app, or put money on a gift card and give them the numbers.
Some will want you to deposit a fake check and send the money back.
