Phone fraud

Phone fraud is when a person tries to trick you into giving them your money or personal information over the phone. It usually happens when someone calls you and says they are someone they are not. For example, they might pretend to be from a company you use or a government agency. They might say they can help you with something, like fixing your computer or getting a refund, or they might say you have won a prize and try to get your credit card information. It is important to never give out personal information or money over the phone unless you are sure it is a real person you trust.
