Here are 3 ⚠️ common scams to watch out for in June, especially as summer kicks off:
⚠️ Fake Summer Travel Deals
Scammers post “too-good-to-be-true” vacation rentals, airline deals, or hotel discounts on social media and fake websites. Once you pay, the booking doesn’t exist.
Watch out for: pressure to pay quickly, requests for wire transfers/gift cards, or sites with no real reviews.
⚠️ Phony Utility or Energy Rebate Messages
With higher summer utility bills, scammers send texts/emails claiming you’re eligible for a June energy rebate or that your power will be shut off unless you act now.
Watch out for: links asking for personal info, urgent language, or messages not addressed to you by name.
⚠️ Graduation & Scholarship Scams
June is graduation season, and scammers target students and parents with fake scholarships, internship offers, or “processing fees.”
Watch out for: requests to pay to “unlock” a scholarship, vague organizations, or offers you never applied for.
