Just a reminder to have a conversation with your vulnerable relatives and neighbors who may not be on Facebook.

The first line of defense against scams is awareness. The New Hampshire Department of Justice accordingly presents the top 5 tips to help Granite States Identify and Avoid Scams:
1. Urgency-If you are told that there is an urgent need for you to provide money or personal information, assume you are communicating with a scammer.
2. Cash Conversion-If you are told to make a payment by converting US currency into crypto currency, gift cards, or any other specified form of payment, assume you are communicating with a scammer.
3. Requests for Payment-If someone is asking you to make any type of payment by phone, email, text message, or any other form of communication besides face-to-face interaction, assume you are talking with a scammer and verify the identity of requestor before continuing communication.
4. Requests to Click on a Link-If you receive a request to click on a link, assume it is a scam. Sending a link by text message, email or other messaging platform, along with a message that encourages you to click it is one of the most common methods used to perpetrate scams. Avoid clicking on any links that are sent to you unless you can verify the legitimacy of the link first.
5. Fear of Inaction- Scams are effective because scammers convince hard working people that something bad will happen if they don’t engage with the scammer and follow instructions. This can take many forms from threatening imminent arrest to the loss of financial resources or benefits. Anytime you are told that something bad will happen if you don’t provide money or information, you should assume it is a scam

☎️ Hang up or ignore suspicious calls or messages. Government employees will NEVER threaten you or demand immediate payment.
