Remember: If Something Feels Wrong, It Probably Is

No legitimate company or government agency will ever:

  • Call and demand immediate payment by gift card or wire transfer
  • Send you an unexpected email asking you to click a link and enter your password
  • Pressure you to act right now or face arrest
  • Ask for your Social Security number over the phone or by email

When in doubt — hang up, close the email, and talk to someone you trust.
