on

This is an important reminder, especially during tax season when scams are more prevalent. Scammers are constantly getting more creative, so it’s crucial to stay vigilant and skeptical of unsolicited messages, whether they come via email, text, or even pop-ups on your computer.

Here are a few more tips to help stay safe:

  1. Verify Contact Information: Always check official websites or phone numbers for IRS, USPS, or other agencies. Don’t rely on the contact information in the message.

  2. Don’t Click on Links: Never click on links or attachments from unknown sources, even if they appear to be from trusted organizations.

  3. Two-Factor Authentication: Enable two-factor authentication on your accounts whenever possible for an added layer of security.

  4. Regular Updates: Keep your software and antivirus programs up to date to ensure you’re protected from the latest threats.

  5. Be Cautious with Personal Information: If someone is asking for personal or financial information over the phone or email, take a step back and verify the legitimacy before providing anything.

If you’re ever in doubt, reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or local authorities can help clear things up. Stay safe out there!
