Scammers are skilled at convincing individuals to part with their money or personal information through calls, emails, and text messages. If you suspect you’ve paid a scammer or shared sensitive details, it’s important to act quickly. While it’s likely your money is gone, you should contact the payment service used to see if there’s any chance of recovery. Always remain vigilant and cautious when sharing personal information or making transactions to protect yourself from these fraudulent schemes. 

Visit the consumer.ftc.gov site for more information on what to do if you were scammed and what to do if: 

  • You paid a scammer. 
  • You gave a scammer your personal information.
  • A scammer has access to your computer or phone.
