WHO’S REALLY CALLING?
Have you received a call about suspicious activity on your bank or credit card account? It’s comforting to know someone’s looking out for you. Or are they? If they’re asking questions for which they should have the answers, these callers may only be looking out for themselves!
BE SMART WITH USED DEVICES
On average, U.S. smart phone users upgrade their device every 22.7 months. That leaves a lot of used, late-model devices on the market. Don’t let visions of fast cash dancing in your head distract you from taking steps to ensure you’re not giving away your identity!
