What will a scammer ask from you?


What will a scammer ask from you? Scammers will ask you for money. Once they gain your trust, they'll ask for your help to pay medical expenses (for them or a family member), buy their ticket to visit you, pay for their visa, or help them pay fees to get them out of trouble. They may even offer to help you get started in cryptocurrency investing.


How do you outsmart a scammer?

Don't give out personal information such as passwords, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, dates of birth, or Social Security numbers. Don't respond to suspected phishing emails, text messages or phone calls, even if you think it would be fun to tease or trick them. It's best to avoid responding in any way.
