Scam Alert — Protect Yourself From Holiday Phone Scams

Scammers increase activity in December because they know:

  • People are shopping, donating, or expecting packages

  • Emotions are higher

Quick safety rules to protect yourself:

  1. Hang up → Look up → Call back.

  2. Let unknown numbers go to voicemail.

  3. Never share personal info from an unsolicited call.

  4. Urgent tone = scam.

  5. Use call-blocking tools to reduce future attempts.

Staying safe is part of staying independent — and you deserve both.
