🚨 Fraud Alert: Protect Your Business and Accounts 🚨
Scammers are getting more creative with email, text, and check fraud. Here’s how to stay safe:
📧 Email Scams:
• Watch for fake addresses (even one letter off!).
• Don’t click unknown links or download attachments.
• Verify payment changes directly with the sender — never by email.
• Use two-factor authentication on all accounts.
💬 Text Scams:
• Ignore links in texts claiming “fraud” or “delivery issues.”
• Call the company or bank using a verified number — not the one in the text.
✉️ Check Fraud:
• Drop mail inside the post office, not outdoor boxes.
• Consider using ACH or electronic payments when possible.
🧠 Remember: Scammers use urgency and fear to trick you. Take a moment, think it through, and verify before acting.
If you’ve been a victim, contact your financial institution immediately and report it at BEC.IC3.gov
