Don’t be fooled by all the charities that call! Criminals are in full force to try and get your hard earned money, even under Good Samaritan pretenses.

People have also become more generous during the pandemic in donating the charities and lending a helping hand. Criminals also know this, and may prey upon generous individuals with this new tax scam.

The digital era is thriving, and everyone seems to be getting online. With the rapid development of technology, many people also are going smartphone first instead of having a landline phone or a non-smart phone option. This means there are more opportunities for unwanted calls and even scams to catch you when you least expect it.
