How to spot a scam

How to report a scam?

With scams appearing through email, phone call, social media and more, it is important to know where you can report a scam. For an email or text message scam, you can mark the message as junk and block the contact. With newer updates of email apps and phone operating systems, companies like Apple have added in detection software to spot scams, giving users automatic pop ups to block the number and report it as spam. If you have found a scam on social media, the best thing to do is report the account and block the user so you won’t see them on your feed again and the platform is aware that they are a scam account.
