I got this form my bank, as October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, making it a great time to review how scammers operate. Scammers don't just hack your computers, they also try to trick your emotions. Here are 5 common tricks from their playbook: 1. Scaring You to Act Fast 2. Pretending to Be Someone You Trust 3. Deals Too Good to Be True 4. Asking for Secret Info 5. Demanding Money Transfers In short: If a message feels pushy or weird, stop and double-check. How to Prevent Scams 1. Pause & Verify, don’t get pushed 2. Protect Your Codes/Passwords 3.Double-Check any Transfers. Treat e-Transfers and wire transfers like cash, once sent, they’re gone for good 4. Skip Unsolicited Links/emails In short: If it feels pushy or sounds too good to be true, stop immediately. Have you ever gotten a suspicious call or text? — This is for informational and educational purposes only. $AAPL
