Here are several general tips for avoiding scams:

Do not respond to calls, text messages or emails from unknown numbers or suspicious addresses.

Never share sensitive personal or financial information over email, text messages or over the phone.

Do not click any links in a text message from a number you do not recognize. If a friend sends you a text with a suspicious link that seems out of character, call them to make sure they weren't hacked.

Consider adding your number to the π‘΅π’‚π’•π’Šπ’π’π’‚π’ 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍 π’“π’†π’ˆπ’Šπ’”π’•π’“π’š to prevent telemarketing calls.
