That said, most types of scams use similar tactics, meaning you can watch for common warning signs, like:Unsolicited contact via phone, text, or email.Promises of a lot of money for little effort.High-pressure sales tactics requiring you to “act now.”Unexpected requests for personal information.A payment requirement from you before proceeding – often through wire transfer, peer-to-peer payment apps, or gift cards.When in doubt, if you think you’re being scammed, step away from the situation before handing over money or personal information. Do some research before taking next steps.
