Where Does Fraud Come From?

You can’t stop the fraudulent communications but you can fight back with information. Learning about these legitimate communication practices can help you easily spot the fraudsters.

Social Media

Social media allows us to connect with users worldwide. Unfortunately, this can include fraudsters and scammers. You can identify a possible imposter by:

  • A recently created profile.
  • Lack of personal information.
  • Unusual follower count or friends list.
  • Overly emotional content or excessive self-promotion.
  • Fake giveaways or contests.

Phone Scams

A common source of fraud is your own phone. Thieves pretend to be legitimate businesses and try to get payment or your personal information. Red Flags to watch out for:

  • Caller is in a hurry and wants you to rush when completing instructions.
  • You’re asked to provide sensitive, personal information.
  • You are told that your account is delinquent when you know your payments are up to date.

Text Scams

You receive texts from businesses more and more everyday. So it's easy for fraudsters to trick you through fake texts. Keep your eyes open for:

  • Unfamiliar sender numbers.
  • Unfamiliar and shortened links in the text message.
  • Urgent language and requests for personal information.
  • Poor spelling and grammar.
  • Offers that are too good to be true.

Fraudulent Emails

Email is one of the most common sources of fraud. Fraudulent emails from fake accounts allow thieves to get your information while staying hidden. Common things to look for include:

  • Sender's email address doesn't match.
  • Spelling and grammatical errors.
  • Suspicious links or attachments.
  • Urgent tone and requests for payment or personal information.

Mail Scams

Fraudsters may still utilize traditional mail with crafty offerings to get your information. Key indicators of fake mail include:

  • Language like, "You've won!", "Limited-Time Offer" and other flashy offerings that are too good to be true.
  • Urgent requests for personal info to secure large winnings or prizes.
  • Requests for payment using unusual payment methods like wire transfers or gift cards.

Fraud is the intentional deception of a person or group for personal or financial gain. It can take many forms, such as identity theft, spoofing, or, in the case of financial fraud, debt collection or advance-fee scams.
While every act of fraud is different, there are common warning signs. These include unexpected changes in your credit report or financial statements and receiving notifications for a loan you didn’t take out. To prevent fraud, stay vigilant and regularly monitor your personal and financial information.
Phishing is a type of fraud where scammers impersonate legitimate organizations to steal personal information, such as account details or card numbers, through emails, texts, or fake websites.
