Fraud, Scams, and Account Protection

Fraud means using dishonest deception to gain something unfairly or to cause someone else a loss. One common form is tricking a person into giving up money or personal information. A scam is a specific dishonest plan or trick used to commit fraud. One common example is someone pretending to be a trusted person, or offering a deal that sounds too good to be true. Keeping personal information private, like an account number or a PIN, is one of the best ways to protect yourself. If something feels rushed, secretive, or too good to be true, it is worth stopping to check before acting.
