Not sure if the person on the other end of the line is legitimate? Answer these 5 quick questions while you are on hold (or after you hang up) to assess your risk.
1. Did they ask you to pay a "fee" using Gift Cards (Target, Apple, etc.) or Cryptocurrency?
2. Did they ask you to install software to "remote in" or control your screen?
3. Did they threaten legal action, arrest, or say your account will be deleted "today"?
4. Did they ask you to read back a multi-digit SMS code they just texted to you?
5. Did the call connect instantly without an automated phone menu or hold music?
