Friendly Reminder from the Anti-Scam Squad: No matter how friendly they sound, your bank will never ask for your PIN, password, or to “safeguard” your money in a top-secret vault! If someone claiming to be your bank calls you up and demands this info, it's not a security check—it's a scam-a-palooza! 🕵️♀️
Pro Tips for Scam Dodging:
🤔 Mistrust Anyone Who Pops Up Uninvited. If they’re knocking at your digital door, take a suspicious squint!
📞 Caller ID is a Professional Liar. Scammers can make numbers look like your bank’s, your mom’s, even Santa Claus’s. Trust issues? Absolutely.
🚫 Suspicious Links? Don’t Take the Clickbait! If a link feels off, it’s probably a trap.
When You Get A Weird Phone Call :
Just hang up and call your bank on the number actually on your card. (Fun tip: give it a 10-second breather first, or use another phone, because scammers have sneaky ways of staying on the line.)
When You Get a Random Email or Text :
No matter how tempting, don’t spill your login info after clicking a mysterious link! Spoiler alert: banks don’t do cloak-and-dagger online banking.
When It Comes to Your Computer :
No one—and I mean no one—should be logging into your device remotely. If they want to “take control,” politely suggest they take up video games instead.
Remember: Scammers may be clever, but you’ve got the power of sarcasm, skepticism, and this guide on your side. Stay savvy and scam-proof! 🥸
