The Newest Financial Scams and How You C...

🔒 Financial fraud is on the rise — how can you protect yourself?

There's been a sharp uptick (25% increase!) in financial fraud this year. In this episode, I go over some strategies to recognize and protect yourself from scams.

Key takeaways:

• Watch for red flags: Be wary of unsolicited calls (even when they appear to come from legitimate institutions) that create urgency, ask for sensitive info, or pressure you to act quickly. Always hang up and call back using a verified number you found on their website.
• Strengthen your digital defenses: Enable two-factor authentication, set up transaction alerts on your accounts, and use strong, unique passwords—especially for financial logins. 
  • Michelle also suggests having a separate email just for financial matters.
• Stay vigilant—and help others do the same: Many scams target older adults or those less familiar with digital security. Talk openly with family and friends about common tactics fraudsters use, and encourage them to lock down their accounts.

Taking proactive steps now can make all the difference in protecting your money and accounts.
