10 Tricks Scammers Use to Fool You

The Fake Bank Call

– Scammers often impersonate bank representatives, asking for your PIN or OTP. Never share your details over the phone!

Too-Good-To-Be-True Offers

If an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is! Scammers promise huge discounts and free giveaways to steal money.

Phishing Links

Scammers send fake emails or texts with links that steal your personal information. Don’t click on unknown links!

“You’ve Won a Lottery” Lie

Out of the blue, you get a message saying you’ve won the lottery. They’ll ask for fees to claim your ‘prize.’ It’s a scam!

Tech Support Scam

You get a pop-up or phone call warning you of a virus. They ask for remote access to your device or payment. Don’t fall for it!

Romance or Dating Scams

Scammers use fake dating profiles to form emotional connections. Once they gain your trust, they’ll ask for money.

Fake Online Shopping Sites

Buying from a fake site means you won’t get your products, and your payment information is at risk. Always check reviews!

The “Friend in Trouble” Trick

Scammers may pretend to be friends in urgent need of money. Always verify by calling them first before sending any money.

Job Offer Scams

Fake job offers ask for upfront payment for training or paperwork. Real jobs never ask for money in advance.
