This Halloween season, beware of more than just ghosts and goblins! Scammers are lurking in the shadows too. Treat yourself to these safety tips:

👻 Don’t click on any unknown links on posts or messages.

👻 Create a strong password and change it often.

👻 Don’t accept friend requests from people you don’t know.

👻 Always ask questions when buying or selling anything online.

👻 Never just assume the funds are good from a check or transfer to your account.

👻 Don’t let the panic of a missing a good deal cost you. Take your time do a little research before giving out your personal information to a stranger.
