More than ever, fraudsters are mining platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and even LinkedIn for personal information they can use to commit identity theft, financial fraud, or manipulate people through romance scams.

What you post online may feel casual and harmless, but in the wrong hands, those details can become dangerous.

Scammers are getting sneakier—sending fake texts that look like they're from your financial institution, a delivery company, or even a government agency. Their goal? To get you to click a dangerous link or give up sensitive information.
