The Attorney General’s Office and the South Dakota Bankers offer these tips: Scammers will advise you not to talk with others regarding the transaction – this is a RED flag. Organizations, including banks, and government agencies do not ask for money by telephone or on the internet. Do not click on pop-up messages that appear on computers. Talk to someone you can trust before you provide money or personal information to someone who contacts you. Check and double check email addresses if they are asking you to send money. If the caller represents a business or government agency, don’t trust the telephone number they give you. Hang up and call the organization’s office. Treat calls or emails demanding immediate action with suspicion. Do not give into high pressured sales tactics. Do not provide financial or personal information over the phone or via the internet. These scams are like other such scams – offering you something for money, but not delivering. Do not deposit a check and then wire money. If you are asked to send money, get off the telephone and seriously think about you are being asked to do.
