🛑 How Scammers Trick You

• 📞 Fake Tech Support Calls: Scammers pretend to be from Microsoft, Apple, or your internet provider, claiming your computer has a "virus" or "error."
• 💻 Pop-Up Warnings: Fake security alerts trick you into calling a scam hotline, where they ask for remote access to "fix" your computer.
• 💸 Refund Scams: They claim to issue you a refund but "accidentally overpay," pressuring you to send money back.
• 🔓 Remote Access Tricks: Once inside your computer, scammers steal banking details, passwords, or even install ransomware.

⚠️ The Risks of Falling Victim

• 💸 Financial Fraud: Scammers can access banking details and steal money from your accounts.
• 📂 Identity Theft: Stolen personal data can be used to open fraudulent accounts in your name.
• 🛑 Malicious Ransomware: Scammers may lock your files and demand payment for access.

🚨 Important Financial Warning

• 🔴 Most financial institutions will **deny** fraud claims if you willingly provide scammers with your banking details, authorize transfers, or send payments—even if you were tricked.
• 🔴 The FDIC does NOT cover fraud losses due to negligence. If you share your banking details, the bank is **not responsible for refunding lost money**.
• 🔴 **Scammers may ask you to wire money, send cryptocurrency, or buy gift cards.** Once you send money this way, it is **almost impossible** to recover.

🚀 **If something seems suspicious, stop and contact your bank or the company directly!**
