Nearly 30% of people who reported losing money to a scam said it started on social media, far outpacing other modes of contact. “Social media scams produced far more in losses—an eightfold increase since 2020—than any other contact method used by scammers to reach consumers, according to the new data,” the FTC says.

Here’s a few reminders to avoid falling for social scams:

• Limit who can see your posts and 

  contacts on social media. Visit your 

  privacy settings to set restrictions so 

  scammers have less to work with.

• Never let someone you have met 

  only on social media direct your 

  investment decisions.

• Before you buy, check out the company. 

  Search online for its name plus “scam” 

  or “complaint.”
