Get the toolkit Blog The latest from Military Consumer Starting a college job or internship this fall semester? Watch for this scamSeptember 6, 2024 Whether you’re kicking off the fall semester with a new internship or looking for an on-campus gig, there’s a scam you should know about. Don’t take the bait on phishing scamsSeptember 4, 2024 Have you ever gotten a text or email warning you that something is wrong with an account online? Maybe it says your streaming account is about to be suspended unless you respond quickly. It might even have a link that will supposedly fix your account’s problems. The message looks real. But is it? Scammers use Bitcoin ATMs to steal your moneySeptember 3, 2024 Most of us use ATMs pretty often to withdraw cash. But Bitcoin ATMs (or BTMs) are a different beast. Increasingly located in convenience or grocery stores, gas stations, and other places, they’re a way to buy or send cryptocurrency. Only scammers are now using BTMs to steal your money. A new FTC Data Spotlight explains how people are losing millions to fraud at BTMs — and how to protect yourself and the people you care about. Got a call about unpaid college tuition? It could be a scamAugust 28, 2024 For college students and parents, paying tuition is often at the top of the to-do list each semester. Imagine getting a call from someone who supposedly works at your school, saying you haven’t paid the bill. They threaten to drop your classes unless you send money right away. The call might raise alarm bells, but slow down — you might end up paying a scammer instead of the real tuition and fees.
