Tech Tip of the Month: Think Before You Click

Scammers continue to use email, text messages, and social media to trick people into sharing personal information or sending money. Before clicking a link, opening an attachment, or responding to a message, take a moment to verify that it came from a trusted source. When in doubt, contact the person or organization directly using a phone number or website you know is legit. A few extra seconds can help protect your personal information, finances, and peace of mind.

Remember: If it feels urgent, unexpected, or too good to be true, pause and verify first.
