Here are some warning signs you are being scammed:
A sure sign of a scam is being asked to withdraw cash and convert it to another form of money, most commonly cryptocurrency or gift cards.
Scammers will speak with a sense of urgency and work hard to keep you on the phone, discouraging you from contacting police or anyone else.
Scammers may sound legitimate, and they may even know some personal details about you to sound more believable.
Legitimate businesses such as your bank will not ask for your personal information such as your social security number over the phone.
Using search engines such as Google to find customer service phone numbers for companies like Amazon can connect you to a scammer. Use the company’s actual website to search for the correct number.
Keep a frequent check on your accounts and credit report.
If anything seems suspicious it probably is. Hang up with the scammer immediately and contact local law enforcement.
