I’ve got some news that’ll make you double-check your bank account. Florida ranks 5th in the nation for fraud and 3rd in identity theft complaints. With $10 billion lost to scams last year, we’re one of the top states at risk, and fraudsters are loving our busy, tech-savvy lifestyle. From tourists to retirees, Florida is a prime target.
Fake IRS calls to tech scams, fraudsters are coming for your wallet. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Here’s how to stay safe:
- Hang up on suspicious calls.
- Use strong, unique passwords.
- Monitor your credit regularly.
- Be cautious with “too good to be true” deals.
