With the three golden rules: Slow it Down, Spot Check and Stop! Don’t Send, ScamsSpotter.org offers easy-to-follow help to prevent cybercrime.
Slow it Down. Scammers will often create this sense of urgency around the topic. They do this to try and bypass your better instincts. Remember to take your time and ask questions to avoid being rushed into a bad situation.
Spot Check. After slowing it down, do your research and double-check all the details. Look up the bank, agency or organization on your own that’s supposedly calling you and then get in touch with them directly.
Stop! Don’t Send. Remember that no reputable person or agency will ever demand payment on the spot—especially not gift cards. Gift cards are only meant to be given as gifts. So if you think the payment feels fishy, it probably is. Gift Cards have become the payment method of choice for scammers, according to an FTC report.
