Scammers are getting smarter and using technology to take advantage of people. Scammers pretend to be from an organization you know and say there is a problem or a prize. They do this to create urgency so you act immediately without time to think.
Keeping a vigilant eye on your finances can help you detect fraud and act more quickly.
