Tip of the Week  
For the week of January 6, 2024  
Beginning of the Year Scams  
  
The start of the new year brings new and old scams alike. Be on the lookout for scams which often come through emails, texts, and phone calls aimed at tricking you into disclosing personal and financial information. Common scams may also threaten you with late fees, missed jury duty, or other penalties which “require” you to pay immediately or in untraditional payment types such as gift cards, BitCoin, money orders, and others. Here are some things to keep in mind throughout the year.   
  
Protect Yourself Throughout the Year  
Although some scams target specific events and deadlines, such as tax season or open enrollment, scams happen throughout the year. Scammers are creative and resourceful; they will try to convince you they are with a legitimate agency. They will sometimes create a fake, professional-looking profile or a website that looks very similar to the organization’s actual page. Scammers may try to use your emotions against you, such as pretending to be a family member in jail or threaten legal consequences if you do not pay immediately. When in doubt, hang up without providing personal or payment information and contact the real organization to verify the request is really coming from their office.   
  
Some things you can do to protect yourself and loved ones from scams:  
  
- Confirm an agency is legitimate (and the contact is really with the agency) before sending sensitive information or payment. Do not click on links or call phone numbers sent to you in suspicious communications. Instead, look up the agency’s contact information by searching online or in a phone book.   
- When you set up an account with an agency (bank, utilities, healthcare, etc.) bookmark their website and save their office number. This will make it easy to follow up with them if you receive a call, text, email, or letter requesting payment or sensitive information.   
- Be wary of social media comments. Do not click on links from other users or share sensitive information with them.   
- Help your friends and family members recognize scams and suspicious communications.   
- Remember, in general agencies such as law enforcement, healthcare, and financial institutes will not ask you for your account login and password information.   
- Remember what agencies will contact you about.   
--Our office will not call you regarding federal jury duty, local jury duty, etc.   
--We will not ask for payment over the phone.  
--Our office and other government agencies will not ask you to pay fines or fees with gift cards, money orders, bitcoin, etc.  
-- Our office will not try to sell you merchandise or swag over social media through third party comments. Bookmark our pages below to know which pages are official.
