Common Online Scams & How to Avoid Them

This course covers online fraud scams, which are an unfortunate but very real part of the internet. Scammers use deceptive tactics like fake emails (phishing), texts (smishing), calls (vishing), or fake websites to trick victims into giving up personal info (passwords, SSN) or money, all aiming to steal money or commit identity theft. We'll cover the most common types of online fraud, the warning signs you should look for, and some practical strategies you can adopt to avoid being victimized.
