  • Whether it's the latest phishing scam hitting your email or a faked video of Warren Buffett offering stock tips, someone is trying to scam you.

The article by Erik Sherman on Forbes, published on March 21, 2025, discusses the emergence of new scams and provides advice on how to protect oneself from these fraudulent activities.

Other scams include fake investment opportunities, particularly in cryptocurrencies, and phishing attempts through emails or texts that appear legitimate. Sherman advises staying vigilant by verifying the identity of the person contacting you, especially if they're asking for money or personal information, being skeptical of too-good-to-be-true investment offers, and using two-factor authentication for online accounts. He also recommends regularly updating passwords, being cautious with unsolicited communications, and educating oneself about common scam tactics to avoid falling victim to these increasingly clever deceptions.
