What you should know
Easy money scams are conducted by real people trying to make a “personal” connection. They’ll speak casually, as if they know you well. They’ll make small talk, and ask about your family. They may claim to work for a company you trust. They are clever at offering you incredible deals that promise great returns with very little or no risk. But if it seems too good to be true, it often is. Investment seminars, sports betting systems, illegal managed investment schemes and virtual currencies are just a few tricks used to generate interest during an Easy Money scam call.
