What is SCAM

A scam is a dishonest trick or fraud used to cheat someone out of their money, personal information, or belongings. Scammers often lie or deceive people to get what they want.

Some common types of scams include:

• Phone scams – Someone calls pretending to be from a bank or company and asks for money or personal details.
• Online scams – Fake websites or messages trick people into sharing passwords or paying for fake products.
• Lottery scams – A message says you won a prize, but you need to pay a fee to claim it.
• Friend scams – Someone pretends to be a friend or family member and asks for money.

Always be careful when someone asks for money or personal information. If something seems too good to be true, it might be a scam!
