The best way to make sure you don’t get scammed by a scam artist is to be aware of common fraud schemes and never give out personal information or money without verifying that it's really coming from who they say it is. Additionally, if you are considering buying something online, use secure payment methods such as PayPal or other forms of digital currency.
