Online scams are everywhere, and they’re getting more convincing each day. Just yesterday, I got a message urging me to "secure my account" at a bank I don’t even have an account with! Remember: never click on links in unsolicited emails or texts about your accounts. That initial jolt of fear can make you act quickly, but don’t let it fool you. Take a step back, verify with your bank directly, and stay safe. Once you click and enter your info, there’s no turning back. #StaySafeOnline #ThinkBeforeYouClick #CyberAwareness #ProtectYourself
