    As cliché as this may be, if something looks too good to be true,
    then it’s likely a scam. Reputable sellers won’t offer super expensive
    computers and electronics for pennies on the dollar. Use common
    sense! And avoid giving out personal details in order to secure
    discounts or enter drawings for free prizes. These can sometimes
    be fraudulent attempts to steal info.

    Receive an unsolicited offer?


    Beware of any offers that you receive via email or text
    which come from merchants you don’t recognize or
    just look spammy. The offer could be real.
    Or it could be a phishing attack. Always think
