Protect Your Money

Don’t Let Scammers Steal Your Hard-Earned Money

Scammers are getting more sophisticated, and people are losing big money to their schemes. Here’s how they trick you:

1. Someone posing as a trusted company reaches out, claiming they spotted fraud on your account and that your money isn’t safe.
2. They connect you with so-called “expert” to help you move your money to a “secure” place.
3. The “helper” — who often claims to be from the government — is really just after your money.

Watch out for these red flags:

If someone asks you to:

• “Move your money to a secure account to protect it.”
• “Transfer funds to a cryptocurrency account for safekeeping.”
• “Withdraw cash and give it to a courier.”
• “Deposit cash at a Bitcoin ATM to keep it safe.”
• “Buy gold and have it picked up.”

It’s a scam. Every. Single. Time.

No government agency or legitimate company will every ask you to do these things. Only scammers will.

Stay safe:

Never send money, cryptocurrency, cash or gold to anyone you don’t know in response to an unexpected call or message. If you are being driven by feat or panic to make a withdrawal, you are being scammed.
