Not to long ago, a clothing company reached out to me and offered me a bunch of cloths. What I didn’t know is that it wasn’t a real company and they reach out to everyone to steal money from them. This made me realize that digital scams are everywhere and are getting more believable. This scam worked because it plays on excitement, flattery, and gives opportunity. Now I know I should slow down, do back up research, and verify the information I receive.

I was not aware of this scam, is it more common amongst younger people?
It is more common for the younger generation but to do go for all ages so everyone should be careful.
Scams are getting tricky
yea they are
Are these scams usually on social media?
Yes most are found on instagram
This is terrible that this is happening to people Antonio. How could I verify that a brand reaching out to me is legitimate?
Do your research before clicking any links they send and find out if they are real or not.
