What Is a Scam?
A scam is a dishonest act meant to trick people into giving away money, personal data, or account access. Scammers often pretend to be from trustworthy sourcesโlike banks, delivery companies, or people you knowโand use pressure or fear to push for quick, time-sensitive decisions. Their main goal is to get victims to click suspicious links, make payments, or reveal sensitive information before figuring out what is happening.

Phishing, Smishing, & Vishing
These are the most common online scam techniques. Phishing uses fake emails that look real, aiming to steal credentials or prompt clicks on malicious links. Smishing works the same way but through SMS texts, and Vishing involves phone calls where scammers pose as bank or government officials and request sensitive bank details.
