Fraudulent activities have become increasingly sophisticated, targeting unsuspecting individuals through various channels. Understanding how fraudsters operate and staying vigilant can help protect you from falling victim to scams. Here's a comprehensive guide to recognizing and avoiding scams, brought to you by Big Ticket:
Learn how fraudsters operate:
-
Fraudsters use various communication methods to target victims, such as phone calls, SMS, WhatsApp, email, and social media.
