Weekly Wheaties 12: How to Keep Safe From Scammers in Person and Online

Weekly Wheaties Episode 12: How to Keep Safe From Scammers in Person and Online

How to recognize potential scams and help mitigate them.  Including phone calls (obvious car warranties, FBI/tax issues, and any “cold calling” you hadn’t first inquired about);  Emails (check the sender and don't click anything); texts (random numbers or emails - especially numbers appearing as emails); and in person at your house (pretending to be cable company or pest control).  How do they know certain information about me?   

App Pick: Silence unknown callers, filtering text messages and checking emails
