Scammers stay aware of what’s happening in the country and society because they want to use that knowledge to their advantage. 

For example, last year there were many reports of attempts to perform ayuda scams, because legitimate government aid was also being given at that time. 

That’s why even if the reason seems legitimate and timely, you should never provide any personal details or financial information. Legitimate communications from companies, organizations and the government will always let you verify them first, and through official channels. 

Stay alert and always verify so you can keep your money safe and scam proof.
