I'm worried that I might be a victim of a scam. How can I tell if someone is trying to trick me online?

There are many ways you can protect yourself from scams, such as researching the company or person before engaging in any business with them, asking for references and credentials, avoiding suspicious emails and phone calls, and never providing personal information like bank account details or social security numbers unless you’re sure it's legitimate. Additionally, you should always keep your computer secure by installing antivirus software and making sure all your passwords are strong and unique.
