How To Avoid a Scam.

Tips on how to not get scammed

The first thing is when you see this on your Google:

"You were the 5 billionth search! Choose a reward!!"

These are easy to fall for due to similar designs and branding on the scam.

Solution: Don't click on it! Instead close out the tab ASAP.

Another popular scam is this one...

"Hey this is [company] and your account has been hacked!"

It looks real, but the email wouldn't be real. Most companies use a logo at the end.

Solution: Do not fall for it and click the link, it will steal your IP address, credit cards, and passwords! Move the email to your spam or trash instead.
