Fraud Awareness Toolkit - Social Post #1 | The 4 P's

Could It Be Fraud? Remember the Four P's.

Most scams have four things in common:

• Pretend – Someone claims to be a trusted source.
• Problem – They create a sense of urgency or fear.
• Pressure – They push you to act immediately.
• Pay – They ask for money or personal information.

If you spot one or more of these warning signs, pause before responding. When in doubt, contact us using a trusted phone number. We'd much rather help you verify a message than help you recover from a scam.
