• An unauthorized charge on your credit card.
• An email or call saying you’ve won a sweepstakes or lottery, though you don’t recall entering one.

• You get a suspicious call, text or email requesting your bank account number; instructing you to buy a gift card; or promising a prize or gift.
• You gave money or financial or medical information to someone whom you now suspect was a scammer.
