Scams at a Glance

Scams at a glance banner

Attorney General Ashley Moody’s resource for Floridians to use for protection against fraud. Scams at a Glance is an outreach program with information about common and emerging scams. The downloadable brochures are designed to teach consumers how to avoid falling victim to fraudulent schemes. The brochures and other information on the website are available in both English and Spanish. Scams highlighted include imposter scams, tech support scams and more. Savvy consumers can stop fraud in its tracks, but they must know what to look for.

Some general signs of common scams include:

• Unsolicited calls or emails;

• High-pressure tactics or too-good-to-be-true offers;

• Threats of loss if immediate action is not taken; and

• Requests for immediate payment by wire transfer, credit, prepaid debit, or gift cards.

Attorney General Moody also works hard to educate Floridians about new and upcoming scams through the Consumer Alert program. Scams at a Glance is another fraud prevention tool to help support Consumer Alerts and bolster consumer knowledge about common scam tactics.

To view recent Consumer Alerts, visit MyFloridaLegal.com/ConsumerAlert.

To report fraud or file a complaint, visit MyFloridaLegal.com or call 1(866) 9NO-SCAM.
