Job scams often promise easy money, involving fake checks that lead to financial loss. Phishing targets individuals through deceptive communications, urging urgency, and requesting personal information. To avoid these scams, be wary of unsolicited messages, avoid clicking on suspicious links, and verify requests by contacting organizations directly. Regularly monitor financial accounts and report suspicious activities to protect yourself from fraud.
