Warning Signs of Scams

  • Be cautious of unsolicited messages claiming you've won a prize or vacation, especially if you didn't enter any contests or sweepstakes.
  • Legitimate prizes or contests usually don't initiate contact through unexpected messages or emails.
  • Clicking on suspicious links can lead to phishing scams, malware, or virus downloads, potentially compromising your personal data.
  • Verify the authenticity of prize claims by contacting the supposed sponsor directly, but do not respond to the suspicious message.
