If you suspect a scam, don’t panic. Instead, ask yourself these key questions:

✅ Is the sender asking for personal or sensitive information?
– Legitimate organizations never ask for passwords, PINs, or banking details via calls, emails, or texts.

✅ Does the message contain links, QR codes, or attachments?
– Be cautious—these could lead to fake websites or install malware on your device.

✅ Were you expecting the message?
– If the message or call seems random or unrelated to anything you’re involved in, double-check before responding.

✅ Does it feel rushed or urgent?
– Scammers use pressure tactics to make you act fast—take a moment to think before doing anything.

✅ Are there spelling or grammar errors?
– Many scam messages contain mistakes because they aren’t professionally written.

✅ Does the message seem overly generic?
– If it doesn’t address you by name or feels vague, it may be sent to thousands of people as part of a scam.

✅ Do you have a bad feeling about it?
– Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it’s worth investigating further.

✅ Is the offer too good to be true?
– Big prizes, guaranteed profits, or free money are common bait used by scammers.

✅ Is the sender verified or trusted?
– Always confirm the identity of the sender before sharing any information or making payments.
