Fraud on the Rise
Chances are you or someone you know has received an unsolicited and sketchy phone call about how to get rid of student loans, a great deal on health care benefits, or some alleged banking problem that you supposedly need to take care of immediately. Hopefully, you quickly identified it as a scam and hung up. But even those who think they can spot a fraud from a mile away need to keep up their guard, especially now.
Knowing that some people might be desperate to make up for income lost as a result of the pandemic, fraudsters are working overtime to target and try to steal your hard-earned money through securities fraud.
