Scammers are getting smarter on social media

Be on high alert for clickbait super scams on social media and unsolicited calls.

Be wary of ads offering free surveys and big returns 

Be on alert if you see super ads promising free reviews and big returns. Ask yourself - does it look too good to be true? Be extremely cautious about who you are engaging with on social media and don't risk your hard-earned savings. 

Take action - protect yourself 

You have the power to keep your super safe:

  • Ignore pushy ads and calls

  • Ignore tactics pressuring you to act fast

  • Don’t share personal info 

  • Clear your cookies and cache to reduce digital tracking

  • Hide suspicious ads.
