Tips to Avoid a Scam:

1. The Golden Rule
When an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.

2. Keep Personal Info Private
Never give your bank account, social security, or credit card numbers to anyone you don’t know and trust.

3. Avoid High Pressure Sales
Say no to any offer or deal that is only available right now.

4. Never Pay for a Prize
If you are offered a prize but are asked to pay a “processing fee” or “taxes in advance,”it is likely a scam. You shouldn’t have to pay anything to win a free prize.

If you’re still not sure whether it's a scam, call our Scam Hotline at (858) 715-1648.
