    Watch out for gold bar scams
    Apr 29 2026
    Gold bar scams are an increasingly widespread form of fraud, costing victims millions. In these schemes, scammers—often pretending to be government officials or tech support—claim that a person’s bank account is at risk. They then pressure the victim to liquidate their savings into physical gold bars, which are later picked up by fake couriers. No legitimate government agency will ever instruct someone to do this.

  • Watch out for scammers using remote access

    Watch out for scammers using remote access
    Apr 14 2026
    Allowing remote access to your computer is basically the equivalent of allowing someone to have unfettered access to your finances and personal information. That is why scammers love to use remote access, but here is the deal – scammers don’t use the term remote access because many of us are familiar with the concept and would refuse to participate.
