top 6 Scams

Beware of top 6  Scams in this year 
1. Home Improvement Scams
Scammers will often take advantage of natural disasters like tornadoes to swoop in with magical repairs for your home. They will play dress up and knock on your door; sometimes they'll also design and deliver elaborate flyers or call you directly, offering to fix your home on the cheap. They take your money up-front, and either do shoddy work or never come back, costing you more in the long run. If they say they were already working in the neighbour hood or have leftover supplies, that's a red flag
2. Government Grant Scams
3. Employment Scams
Employment scams usually try to hook people looking for a job with convenient hours or a work-from-home situation. These are also popular with secret shopper opportunities.
The scammers will often pose as real companies, hoping you'll send them the codes for the gift cards so they can drain them. Their initial payment to you for the job will more than likely bounce.
4. Debt Collection or Consolidation
5. Phishing Scams
These can take several forms, usually starting with a call or email from someone you might trust, like a bank or even a government organization like the Social Security Administration.
6. Online Purchases
Online purchasing scams come in as many colours as there are people on the planet, but they're the same at their core; you pay for something upfront, usually through a method that can't be traced or undone, and you never get what you paid for. We've seen this happen with products on big-name sites like Amazon, Etsy, eBay, and Craigslist
These have been just some of the most popular ways scammers have tried to take your money this year, across the country
