Someone is wooed on a dating website or on social media, and may have been “dating” over the phone and by email for months. Trust is built, and they believe that person has their best interest at heart.
They think they’ve found love or a way to make fast cash. So they do what is asked of them, they open accounts, give away credentials, or transfer money. The reality: they are victims and it’s all a big scam to illegally obtain money. The victim’s become money mules. Don’t become one.
You think you are getting a call, email or text from a trustworthy entity, such as Primis bankers, government authorities, or renowned organizations. The reality: it’s a fraudster who intends to deceive you, obtain your personal and account information, and ultimately steal from you. Avoid being defrauded.
Someone gets an email from a legitimate email address – it could be their boss or their banker. But an odd request is made. They want to verify something they should already know, or request a change of a payment destination. The reality is that an email hack or spoof was designed to steal money and gain access to protected data. Don’t let it happen to you.
That hard-to-find fishing rod, the latest sneakers or a beautiful spring dress pops up in your social feed or when you search online. Whatever it is, it’s perfect and exactly what you’ve been looking for and an incredible deal. In haste, you click the link, provide your payment and shipping information. Done.
You just passed along all that information to a scammer…plus you paid for something that doesn’t exist. Don’t fall prey to scammers who make fake online stores or listings with the intention of stealing from you.

Fraudsters don’t limit their scams to consumers. Fraudsters are strategic and know how to find vulnerabilities in business systems. Cybercriminals constantly adapt to uncover new opportunities. And they know that small and medium sized businesses are less likely to have strong protection and fraud prevention tools in place. That’s where we come in.
