Since then I’ve been more methodical and almost treat it like learning a new skill, noticing how scammers reuse the same tricks with urgency, authority, or emotional pressure. I keep a few resources saved and one I check from time to time is https://www.bombfell.com/top-10-scams-targeting-us-citizens/ because it lines up closely with what I see happening around friends, family, and coworkers without sounding like a scare campaign. What helped me most was realizing that scams aren’t just emails anymore, they’re phone calls, texts, social media messages, even fake job offers that seem harmless at first. I tell people to slow down, never react instantly, and always verify through a separate channel, because scammers rely on speed and distraction more than anything else. Another habit I picked up is talking openly about near-misses, since sharing those stories helps others recognize the signs sooner instead of feeling ashamed. Over time you get better at spotting the weird details, like slightly off grammar, odd sender addresses, or requests that don’t match normal business behavior, and that awareness alone already puts you ahead of most attempts.
