We are frequently targeted by unscrupulous scammers and other criminals. Unfortunately, banks and other financial institutions sometimes use fear to promote their consumer protection services, making even their messages seem suspicious.

In this episode, we will cover:

• How to safeguard yourself against scammers
• Effective ways to verify the legitimacy of messages or voicemails you receive
• Built-in tools in macOS, iOS, and iPadOS that can assist you
• Other useful resources such as Have I Been Pwned
