Whether it's a suspicious rustle in the bushes or a sketchy text, it pays to stay alert. Scammers get more creative daily, but you can stay one step ahead by channeling your inner "lookout cat." 🐾 Before you click a link or share personal info, remember: pause, verify, report.

If someone claims to be from the government and urges you to move your money, demands immediate payment through gift cards, or asks for sensitive info like your Social Security number, that's an imposter scam. #StopGovImposters ejcc.acl.gov/imposters @UtahDCP

Getting a text from an unknown number that says, "Hi, how are you?" might seem harmless, but it's best to ignore it. Scammers use this tactic to start conversations and gain your trust, eventually trying to sell you fake investment opportunities. consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alert…

No real government agency operates like a retail store. If an unexpected caller demands gift cards, they have no power here. Hang up and call the agency yourself. #impostorscams #impersonationscams #scams #scameducation #lotr #lordoftherings

Unexpected text messages that appear to be from Amazon, claiming an item you bought was recalled and offering a full refund, are a scam! Scammers want you to click a link to "request your money back," but it's an effort to steal your personal info. consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alert…
