When should I report something?
It's always a good idea to be careful about your personal information — especially online.
Let us know if a customer asks you to:
- Share private information such as your social security number or banking information.
- Wire funds to your bank, or send money through a wire service such as Western Union or Moneygram.
- Receive payment for your services through an unfamiliar payment service, or third party.
- Contact or forward the money to another party.
- Pay another professional with the money they paid you.
- If the customer pays you more money than agreed upon.
All of these are typical signs of online scams. These are common across the internet, especially on platforms that allow people to connect with other people.
