Recognize and report scams

Last updated: 2 weeks ago
Scams are a form of fraud, usually committed through email. Scammers create false identities or impersonate legitimate people or companies. Their goal is to steal your money or in some cases, your identity.
There are several warning signs of a typical scam message:
  • Offers that seem too good to be true.
  • Messages containing spelling or grammar mistakes.
  • Messages that aren't addressed to you personally.
  • Messages asking you for personal or financial information.
In addition to these scams, the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) monitors and reports different types of scams you could encounter.
If you've been the victim of a scam, report it to your local law enforcement. If you've received a scam message on LinkedIn, please contact us.
