1 in 4 people say there isn’t someone in their life that they would talk to if they thought someone was trying to scam them. This lack of a support leaves people at greater risk to being scammed.
Take extra care at this time of year to #StopChallengeProtect .

Social media is great for networking, but oversharing is risky:
⚠️ Avoid sharing work details on LinkedIn. 📱 Limit location posts on Instagram/WhatsApp. 💼 Don’t discuss work issues online. 🖼️ Vet images for sensitive info. Protect your digital footprint.
