As people gear up for travel, home projects, tax deadlines, and outdoor events, scammers ramp up their efforts to exploit the seasonal rush. From too-good-to-be-true deals to impersonation schemes that feel alarmingly convincing, these tactics evolve every year and catch even savvy consumers off guard.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   In this tip, I'm going to highlight the top five scams to watch for this spring, how they typically unfold, and the warning signs that help you protect your accounts, your identity, and your financial peace of mind.  Unclaimed Funds  Have you received an unexpected phone call with the unexpected news that you're entitled to hundreds or thousands of dollars in unclaimed property? More likely than not, this is a phishing scam. The scammers are counting on you to take the bait and provide your personal information or payment details under pressure. Remember, legitimate government agencies won't call or text asking for personal information to release your unclaimed property. Instead, you can visit https://unclaimed.org/search to see if any unclaimed funds can be returned to you.   Mortgage or Debt Relief Offers  Just like unclaimed funds and unclaimed property scams, fraudulent mortgage and debt relief offers are on the rise. If the offer is unexpected and requires payment upfront, it is more than likely a scam. Other signs of a scam can include urgency related to the timing of the transaction: if you don't act immediately, you can't take advantage of this offer later. Scammers often ask for payment right away, but it's illegal for debt or mortgage relief companies to charge a fee before you receive their services. Remember, if you are having trouble paying your mortgage or other debts, reach out to the companies that you owe money, and explain your unique situation. Often you can work with lenders and creditors to develop a payment plan. You can find legitimate help from housing and credit counselors as well.  Unpaid Traffic Violations  Did you receive a text, phone call, or letter advising that you have unpaid traffic tickets or tolls? Many times, these messages are threatening and rely on you to act quickly under pressure to remediate the issue. To make matters worse, scammers are taking advantage of artificial intelligence to make false notifications appear to look legitimate. For example, letters can include a fraudulent copy of an agency's seal or can mimic a court-ordered collections notice. Some letters even include a QR code to collect payment. If you receive one of these communications, reach out directly to the agency in question using a publicly available phone number to confirm the authenticity of the message you received.   False Safety Recall  Another scam making the rounds this spring is product recall notices. Scammers are sending fake texts impersonating popular retailers and advising of “urgent” product recalls. Many times, these text messages include a link to a website that looks a lot like the actual retailer's website, but it's designed for you to enter your personal information, sending it directly to the scammer. Generally, retailers will post safety notices directly on their platforms and will not send unsolicited text messages related to recalls or refunds. If you have registered a product with the manufacturer when you purchased it, actual recall notices will be delivered to you by mail or the email you used during product registration. Learn more about active product recalls at recalls.gov and cpsc.gov.  Weather Relief Scams  This time of year often brings severe weather to many parts of the country. In turn, this means that scammers are ready to target victims eager to complete storm-related repairs quickly. Stay skeptical of contractors who reach out to you directly, as it's common for unlicensed contractors to target recovery zones – always ask for copies of their license, insurance, and a contract in writing before taking action. Make sure to use trusted resources to see what others are saying about contractors or funding resources. Seeking multiple estimates or quotes for services can be critical to help ensure you're getting a fair deal and that you are comparing equivalent work, materials, and timelines for repairs. Finally, pay by check or with credit card; other payment methods such as cash, cryptocurrency, wire transfer, gift cards, or a payment app can make it challenging to recover your money if it's a scam.  Scams can be unsettling, but with vigilance and the tips above, you can help protect yourself and your data. Always remember that when in doubt, take a step back and verify before you act. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.  If you suspect you may have fallen victim to a scam like this, or you suspect identity theft for any other reason, we have you covered! With Better Checking account, you have access to Fully Managed Identity Theft Recovery Services. We can provide a professional Identity Theft Recovery Advocate to help you remediate identity fraud and rescue your good name!  If there are any other tips or topics you would like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Sharing information with AI has quickly become second nature. But what are you really giving away?

In this episode of Fraudology, Karisse Hendrick welcomes back Ron Zayas, CEO of Ironwall, to discuss the terrifying ways Artificial Intelligence is industrializing fraud. While we often think of AI as a tool for automation, Zayas explains that its true danger lies in its ability to apply human-like logic to stolen data at an unprecedented scale.The conversation dives deep into the mechanics of modern account takeovers, explaining how AI can "guess" password variations by identifying personal patterns across multiple data breaches. We also explore the hidden risks of biometric security, from the vulnerabilities of centralized facial recognition databases to the high error rates of AI models when identifying people of color.Key topics covered in this episode include:Fraud at Scale: How AI moves beyond simple automation to recognize patterns in your passwords and digital behavior to breach accounts across the web.The Biometric Trap: Why storing your facial recognition or fingerprint data with a bank or organization is a permanent risk, and why local storage on your device is the only safe alternative.Biometric Bias and Mistakes: The reality of high error rates in facial recognition for people of color and the harrowing story of a woman arrested for a crime in a state she had never visited due to an AI mismatch.Breaking the Connection: Practical steps to remove your personal information from data brokers and why you should treat your mobile number with the same secrecy as your Social Security number.The Metadata Threat: How a simple photo of your house or the Grand Canyon can leak your exact IP address and physical location to bad actors through hidden metadata.

In this episode of Scam Rangers, Ayelet Biger-Levin sits down with Rebecca Rose from the Social Security Administration's Office of the Inspector General to unpack the reality of scams today, and why they are far more than just a financial problem.Scams have evolved into highly coordinated, psychologically-driven attacks designed to manipulate people in moments of fear, urgency, and trust. Rebecca shares how government imposter scams work, why they continue to grow, and the patterns behind them, including the now well-known “4 P's”: person, problem or prize, pressure, and payment.We also explore the growing sophistication of scams, from long, multi-stage attacks designed to drain victims over time, to impersonation across social media and digital channels. Most importantly, we discuss the emotional and psychological toll scams leave behind, and why prevention, education, and awareness are more critical than ever.This conversation highlights the mission behind Slam the Scam, a nationwide initiative to raise awareness and empower individuals to recognize scams before it's too late.Because by the time someone reaches the point of payment… the damage has often already begun.

If you've invested years in therapy, insight, growth work—and you're still finding yourself triggered by the same things, looping the same fears, or bracing for the same outcomes—this episode is for you. I'm unpacking the deeper layer most personal development misses: that you don't transform your life by fixing yourself… you transform it by separating from the identity that's been unconsciously running it. We'll explore how your Inner Critic isn't just a voice—it's a nervous system pattern formed before you had choice. Why your body reacts as if old wounds are still happening. And how the subtle belief "I need to improve myself to be okay" keeps rebuilding the very identity you're trying to outgrow. ✨ Tune in to learn how to unhook from survival-based patterns, interrupt the emotional loops that keep recreating your past, and shift into your Authentic Self—the part of you that creates from presence instead of protection, and leads your life without needing to fix who you are.   Your weekly reflection questions: What emotion am I trying to skip over right now in order to feel more comfortable, in control, or "ahead"? If my current results are being created by a default identity organized around protection, what am I unconsciously committed to preventing? Who would I have to become—and what would I have to feel—if I stopped being loyal to the version of me that was built to survive the past?

Dave's got the story on a sophisticated phishing campaign targeting Apple Pay users through fake emails and voice calls impersonating customer support, as well as Australia's ClickFit initiative warning that romance scammers are exploiting trust online for emotional and financial gain. Joe's story is about a former Ohio bank employee who used his insider access to steal identities and siphon roughly $2 million from elderly customers, ultimately leading to his arrest in Chicago and federal conviction. Maria's story is about a daughter who discovers her 84-year-old mother has been financially exploited by trusted professionals and even family members, underscoring how elder fraud often comes from familiar faces. It highlights the rapid rise in elder financial abuse and the urgent need for families to step in early—before cognitive decline makes the losses irreversible.
