What’s one of the best ways to spot a scam? How scammers tell you to pay. Scammers want you to pay them in ways that are hard to trace and hard to get your money back: like through a gift card, wire transfer, payment app, or cryptocurrency.
Remember: Only scammers demand payment in cryptocurrency. No legitimate business or government agency is going to demand you pay with cryptocurrency — not to buy something, pay taxes or fines, and not to “protect” your money. That’s always a scam.

Amazon Phone Call Scam: Someone with a foreign accent calls and says he is from Amazon and there were charges to your account that are fraudulent. He then transfers you to the bank person who confirms the fraud and asks for your banking info. The scammer then transfers you to someone at the “Federal Trade Commission” who asks for a copy of your driver’s license. Then he asks you where your retirement funds and bank accounts are. The scammer then tells you he is going to take money from your personal account to pay the Amazon charge. If you hang up when you realize it’s a scam – they will continue to call you from various numbers, including spoofed numbers such as “Johnstown Polic Department.” No – that isn’t my typo – it is the scammers not knowing how to spell police. These are scams! Just hang up!
