These scammers in 2024 aren't always that smart, but they are becoming a lot more resourceful. Maybe it's an AI phone call, a DM on socials, an email, or more frequently lately, a text message.

While it seems easy for some to spot, these people scam thousands of dollars out of people just like this because some people just don't know what they're looking for. Hopefully, this helps you protect yourself next time you get a questionable text.

When in doubt, contact the company (Chase, Amazon, USPS, Verizon, etc.) to confirm that they were trying to contact you about your account, a package being delivered, a contest you may have won, etc. In 2024, you can never be too sure! Here are some other scams to be on the lookout for...
