Fake invoice scams use receipts, renewal notices, PayPal requests, antivirus charges, subscription emails, and callback numbers to make you act fast. The risk depends on whether you only received it, clicked a link, called the number, shared information, installed software, or paid.
Delivery scams often look like package tracking updates, missed delivery notices, redelivery fees, address problems, customs charges, or courier messages. The risk depends on whether you only received it, clicked a link, entered payment details, updated an address, or downloaded something.
Job scams often look like recruiter messages, remote-work offers, task jobs, fake interviews, equipment checks, or quick hiring decisions. The risk depends on whether they asked for money, a bank account, a check deposit, personal information, or work that moves packages or funds.
Crypto scams can start as an investment tip, romance conversation, fake trading platform, wallet prompt, recovery offer, or urgent request to send crypto. The risk depends on whether you sent funds, connected a wallet, shared a seed phrase, or were asked to pay more to withdraw.
Rental scams often use copied photos, low prices, fake landlords, urgent deposits, application fees, self-tour stories, or requests for personal documents before you can verify the property. The risk depends on whether you paid, applied, toured, or shared information.
Romance scams usually build trust before asking for money, gift cards, crypto, bank help, travel costs, emergency support, or secrecy. The safest next step depends on what they asked for, what you shared, and whether money or account access was involved.
Marketplace scams can target buyers or sellers. The risk changes when someone asks for a deposit, fake payment proof, courier pickup, verification code, off-platform payment, or shipping before money clears.
Smishing is phishing by text message. Fake delivery notices, toll texts, bank alerts, account warnings, payment requests, and short links can push you to click, reply, enter information, share a code, or pay a fee.
Fake tech support scams use virus pop-ups, security warnings, phone calls, invoices, and remote-access tools to make you believe someone is fixing a device or account. What matters now is what you clicked, installed, showed, paid, or allowed them to control.
