Learn how to protect yourself from the latest scams, including:
Romance scams are a type of online fraud where swindlers create fake profiles on dating websites or social media platforms to deceive people emotionally and financially. These con artists build trust and form a romantic connection with their victims before exploiting that trust for financial gain. Learn more.
Account takeover fraud is a sophisticated scam in which fraudsters pose as your bank or credit union to gain unauthorized access to your online banking account. These scammers often already have several key pieces of information at their disposal, helping them appear authentic and making it crucial for you to stay vigilant for the slightest signs of deception.

Scammers target victims on social media by offering fake jobs or influencer opportunities. They convince victims to deposit a check and send back some of the funds via payment apps like Cash App or PayPal, claiming the victim can keep a portion. When the check bounces, the victim loses their money and may also face overdraft or NSF fees. Learn more.
