If you get an unsuspected call from someone claiming to be a family member or friend asking you for money to help them out of an emergency, take pause before acting! This could be a scam.
Imposters often use scare tactics like saying they have been in an accident or arrested to get people to act fast. Artificial Intelligence can even mimic a loved one’s voice. Always call or text your friend or family member back directly to make sure they are okay, and never wire money, mail cash, or send cryptocurrency to a stranger!
