Urgency Is a Red Flag: Don’t Let Scammers Rush You
You’re going about your day when suddenly, you get a call or text:
- A wire transfer was just made from your account.
- There’s been suspicious activity.
- Act now, or your account will be locked.
It’s alarming. That’s the point.
Scammers know that fear makes people act fast. They’ll impersonate financial institutions and create a sense of urgency to get you to hand over personal information—account numbers, login credentials, or even send money. They may sound legitimate, but their goal is simple: gain your trust and your money.
