Vigilance, awareness, and sound security procedures are all necessary for scammer protection.
Here are some of the finest defences against con artists
Learn for Yourself Your strongest line of defence is knowledge. Keep up with typical fraud schemes and techniques. The more information you have, the easier it will be to spot and prevent such frauds.
Check identities
Being aware of the potential scam will protect you from being a victim. And those that usually becomes a victim are those that don't have knowledge on what are those type of scams are. They're easily becoming the victim by these scammers because they know that they lack knowledge on how the typical scam exists.
Never give personal or financial information to anybody without first confirming their identity. Request formal credentials and check with the organisation by contacting them through their website or other contact details.
This is how the scam starts, when these scammers get your identity somewhere else or they're able to buy that from marketplaces where it's being sold, they'll contact you immediately and if you're not expecting a call or an email from random person then that's the obvious reasons to avoid and ignore those type of contacts that you receive. Because most of the victims are entertaining these random emails, messages and calls that they receive.
