Don't Be A Victim to Impersonation Scams

In recent years, there has been an increase in impersonation scams. These involve scammers pretending to be widely known companies and agencies such as Microsoft, IRS, and the FBI to gain the trust of victims. Fraudsters use the trust that these organizations have built with consumers to trick victims into sharing their personal information.

Keep vigilant! Being skeptical when asked for your account information or suspicious of any request for your private banking details can be your best defense against scammers.

Common signs of impersonation scams:

• Urgency and pressure to provide personal information
• Unsolicited calls from financial institutions or government agency
• Unusual payment methods such as a gift card, wire transfer, or Bitcoin machine
• Generic greetings instead of your name
• Lack of verifiable credentials
