SCAMBUSTER! Be in the Know
What’s one of the best ways to spot a scam? How scammers tell you to pay. Scammers want you to pay them in ways that are hard to trace and hard to get your money back: like through a gift card, wire transfer, payment app or cryptocurrency.
Remember: Only scammers demand payment in cryptocurrency. No legitimate business or government agency is going to demand you pay with cryptocurrency—or to buy something, pay taxes or fines and not to “protect” your money. That’s always a scam.
