Scammers can manipulate caller ID so it looks like you’re getting a call from your financial institution, the IRS, or even a family member. Caller ID isn’t always what it seems.

Protect yourself:

  • Never give personal or financial information over the phone unless you made the call.

  • Hang up and call back using a trusted number.

  • Stay alert! Your caution is your best defense.
