FAQ: How to avoid being scammed and what to do if you become a victim

To identify scam calls, be mindful of psychological tactics such as urgency and dodging questions. If the voice resembles someone you know, hang up and call the person directly. Report and block scam numbers to avoid further contact. For phishing links, avoid clicking links on messaging platforms, check for a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate in the URL, and be skeptical of suspicious email addresses and unsolicited requests for personal data.
