  • Beware of Credit Card Romance Scams: Protect Your Finances
    Fang explains that romance scams "exploit emotions to gain financial information," often leading to credit card fraud. To protect yourself, never send money to someone you just met online and keep financial details private. Verify identities using online tools and suggest video calls to expose potential scammers. Stay vigilant to safeguard your finances.
  • AI Phishing Scams: A Growing Threat to Consumer Security
    Fang warns that fraudsters use AI tools like ChatGPT to craft convincing phishing scams. "These scams often impersonate banks," she notes. To combat this, avoid unsolicited links, use strong passwords, enable multi-factor authentication, and stay vigilant about account activity. Awareness and education are key to protecting against these sophisticated threats.
  • Crypto Scams: Protect Your Investments and Identity
    Fang warns of scams like pig butchering, fake ICOs, and phishing. "Unrealistic promises, aggressive marketing, and unsolicited messages" are red flags. Scammers may also steal personal data, leading to identity theft. Stay informed and protect your investments by researching thoroughly and never sharing private keys.
