scams and deceptive practices

Scams and deceptive practices are dishonest ways people or organizations try to trick others into giving money, personal information, or access to resources. These schemes often use false promises, fake identities, or misleading information to persuade victims. Common examples include phishing emails, fake investments, or impostor calls. Their goal is to exploit trust and manipulate emotions, often causing financial loss or data theft. Recognizing these tactics involves staying cautious about unsolicited communication, verifying sources, and being skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true. Awareness helps protect against falling victim to such schemes.
