Be ready. Be aware. Tips
Avoid common scams with these tips.
Can you identify a suspicious package?
Excessive postage and an unknown return address are signs of potentially suspicious mail.
Suspicious MailWere you asked to send money?
Legitimate lotteries will never ask you to send money in order to claim a prize. If it sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a scam.
Mail FraudDid you sign your credit card?
Sign new credit cards received through the mail immediately—before someone else does.
Financial FraudIs your child safe?
Know who communicates with your child online and monitor their computer usage.
Child SafetyIs your Social Security card in your wallet?
