Learn How to Spot a Scam

In 2024, Oregonians reported a total of 859,532 fraud claims, resulting in $16.6 billion in financial losses. Differentiating scams from legitimate communication can be tricky, but here are some tips you can rely on:

  • Scammers say there is a problem or prize.
  • Scammers pressure you to act immediately.
  • Scammers tell you pay in a specific way (gift cards, cryptocurrency, gold, etc).
