I've heard that there are a lot of scam artists in the world. How can I protect myself from being a victim?

You should always be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to people who approach you, especially if they make unusual or suspicious requests. If someone approaches you with a story about how they need money for medical bills, housing costs, or other needs, ask yourself why they would need so much money at once and try to get more information about their situation before providing any assistance. Additionally, don't give out personal information like social security numbers or bank account numbers without verifying it first. Finally, report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement as soon as possible.
