Expert Opinion

Imagine getting a call from someone claiming the Federal Reserve is handing out $750,000 sweepstakes checks – it’s a classic advance‑fee trap. Scammers pose as bank officials, promise a huge payout, then demand a small wire fee. Never send money or share personal data; verify any "official" offer directly with the institution using known contact details, not the caller’s. If a check arrives, treat it as potential fraud and let your bank hold it until cleared. Report the number to the FTC and your phone carrier’s spam‑block service. Stay skeptical, and keep your finances out of strangers’ hands.
