Be Alert: Scammers Can Hijack Emails! 🚨✉️
Scammers have found another way to trick you - by hijacking the email accounts of your friends or coworkers. Natalie and I spoke about how to protect yourself on NECN
1. Spot the Odd: If an email from a friend or coworker seems off (e.g. asking about your social security), it probably is fake. Don't share any personal information!
2. Verify Before You Reply: If you receive a suspicious email, even if it seems somewhat believable, delete the email and call the person to verify.
3. Don’t Respond to Suspicious Emails: Never respond to a suspicious email to ask if it's really from the sender. Scammers will just say yes.
4. Help Others Stay Safe: If you receive a weird DM or email from someone you know, let them know. They may not be aware that their account has been hacked.
Remember, staying vigilant and verifying suspicious messages is key to protecting yourself and others from scams.

Don't Be Fooled By Fake Calls! 📞💡
Scammers are getting more sophisticated, using tactics like phone spoofing to trick you into picking up and sharing personal information. I spoke with Natalie on NECN about some ways that you can protect yourself.
1. Be Alert: Be cautious of calls from numbers that look familiar but are unexpected. Scammers can mimic numbers from your area code or even from companies you know.
2. Don’t Share Personal Info: Never give out personal information over the phone, no matter how convincing the caller seems.
3. Verify Before You Share: If a caller claims to be from your bank or any other institution, tell them you will call back on the official number listed on your card or their website.
4. Ignore Unknown Numbers: If you don't recognize a number, it's okay to let it go to voicemail.
5. Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, it probably is. It's okay to hang up and call back on an official number.
Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Share this with your loved ones to spread awareness!

When was the last time you changed the batteries 🪫 in your smoke detector?
On @This Is Awkward I share the cautionary tale of my friend who has refused to change the batteries in his smoke detectors for almost 15 years! 😳
Please go change your batteries! 🔋

Natalie and I are trying to keep you safe from these scammers.
Don’t let one of these calls or emails catch you slipping. We are seeing so many fake emails and phone calls these days.
🚨 Here’s what you need to know to stay safe:
📞 Phone Spoofing: Scammers can disguise their number to look familiar. Always double-check before trusting a call.
🛑 Don’t Trust Every Call & Email: It’s sad, but true. Be skeptical, especially if it feels too urgent or too good to be true.
🚫 Avoid Sharing Personal Info: Never give out personal details over the phone, no matter how convincing the caller might seem.
🤔 Question The Unknown: If you’re unsure about a call, say you’ll call back. Use official numbers from your bank or service provider, not the one they provide in a weird looking text or email.
📵 Unknown Number? Think Twice: It’s okay to miss a call. If it’s important, they’ll leave a voicemail.
🗂 Stay Informed: Scammers are getting smarter. Stay updated on the latest tactics to avoid falling for them.
Remember, your safety is a priority. Be alert, be smart, and always protect your information. Share this with friends and family to spread awareness.

Had to make a trip for this book 📚
I don’t got to physical books stores very often, but when your friend writes their first book you have to go grab a copy in person.
@inspiredbudget ’s very first book Money Made Easy just came out and it was in a beautiful display right as I walked in to the store.
Allison put everything she had in to this book so if you want a book full of real stories that also helps you get your money life right you gotta go grab a copy!
