You receive a call or text message from someone impersonating a grandchild or loved one asking for money to help with an emergency and providing instructions on where to send the money.
These callers “spoof” the caller ID to make an incoming call appear to be coming from a trusted source.
Scammers can now use artificial intelligence technology to mimic the voices of loved ones and attempt to convince you they’re in distress.
Never send money to anyone who claims your account is compromised or threatens to cut off your services. Report suspicious activity immediately.
