Common Scam Types

Recognizing a scam is the first step to avoiding one. Learn about the most frequently reported fraud types.

Online Purchase Scams

Fake online stores or auction fraud where you pay but never receive the product.

Imposter Scams

Criminals pretend to be a government agency, tech company, or charity to steal your money.

Employment Scams

Fake job postings that require upfront fees or personal information from applicants.

Investment Scams

Fraudulent investment opportunities promising high returns with little or no risk.

Phishing Scams

Deceptive emails, texts, or calls designed to trick you into revealing personal information.

Lottery / Prize Scams

You're told you've won but must pay fees or taxes to claim a prize that doesn't exist.

Red Flags to Watch For

Requests for unusual payment

Scammers prefer gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency — legitimate businesses rarely do.

Pressure to act immediately

Any urgent deadline designed to stop you from thinking or researching is a red flag.

Too-good-to-be-true offers

Exceptional deals, guaranteed returns, or winning prizes you didn't enter are classic lures.

Requests for personal info upfront

Never give out Social Security numbers, passwords, or bank details to unsolicited contacts.

Unverifiable credentials

Scammers impersonate real organizations. Verify independently before acting.

Poor grammar / generic greetings

Professional organizations communicate professionally. Obvious errors signal fraud.
