Protect your job hunt:
🔹 Research companies before accepting text offers

🔹 Beware of unprompted hiring texts on WhatsApp/Telegram

Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest shopping and giving seasons of the year — and scammers know it. Before making a purchase or donating to a charity, take a moment to do your research. Watch for fake sales, lookalike websites, suspicious social media ads and emotional donation appeals. Verify businesses (BBB.org) and charities (Give.org) before you buy or give, and use secure payment methods whenever possible.
