scams

Scams are deceptive tactics used by individuals or organizations to trick people into giving away money, personal information, or access to accounts. They often appear legitimate, employing false promises or urgent messages to induce quick action. Common forms include fake investments, phishing emails, fake charities, or bait-and-switch offers. The goal is to exploit trust or fear, leading victims to make decisions that benefit the scammer at their expense. Staying cautious, verifying sources, and being skeptical of unsolicited requests help protect against scams.
