March 5 is National Slam the Scam Day
National Slam the Scam Day is a reminder for the public to recognize, avoid, and report scammers who are looking for an easy payday.
Officials warn residents to be cautious of emails, phone calls, or messages asking you to enter personal information, passwords, or financial details. Scammers often create a sense of urgency to pressure victims into acting quickly.
Remember, no legitimate government agency will ever ask you to pay fines or fees using Bitcoin, gift cards, or other unusual payment methods.
If something feels suspicious, pause and verify before taking action.
Stay aware. Stay safe.
