Protect Yourself and Your Money from Scams
Scams can happen to anyone. Today’s scammers are smart, fast, and often sound very real. They may pretend to be law enforcement, a government office, tech support, bank staff, or even a family member in trouble.
June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month, making it an important time to talk about financial scams and the ways criminals target older adults. But fraud can affect people of every age. Younger adults are often targeted online and through social media, while older adults may face higher losses when scams happen.
One of the best ways to protect yourself is to slow down. If someone tells you to act right away, keep a secret, withdraw cash, buy gift cards, send cryptocurrency, or wire money, stop and ask for help. These are common warning signs of a scam.
Ladysmith Federal will never ask for your online banking username, password, or multi-factor authentication codes. If someone says they are from the bank and asks for this information, hang up and call us directly.
You can also protect yourself by using strong passwords, turning on multi-factor authentication, checking for “https://” and the lock icon on websites, and being careful with unexpected phone calls, texts, emails, pop-ups, and social media messages.
If you think you may be dealing with a scam, do not feel embarrassed. Scams are meant to trick people. Stop talking to the scammer right away, do not send more money or information, and contact your bank as soon as possible. You should also tell someone you trust like a friend or family member.
