Watch Out for Back-to-School Scams

Back-to-school time is here.
It’s also high season for financial fraud.
Scammers are targeting educators, parents, and students.

Be careful of online shopping scams
It’s best to shop with well-known companies.
Criminals will lure you with steep discounts.
Or try to get you to use gift cards or wire transfers
And more of the same.

Always verify school related messages
Be aware of impersonation scams
The criminals will try to trick you into paying fake fees.
Or they want your personal information.

Most importantly, protect your children’s data
Especially their Social Security number
It’s a prime target for identity thieves.

Have a fun, and safe, back-to-school season.

Mariana worked on both, the east and the west coast.
Big or small, each project she worked on helped define the importance of gaining and sustaining a competitive edge in an increasingly complex business environment.
