Greetings!
Scammers are everywhere and one thing is that they have scammed many people and this is because of the fact that so many people are just there online without having the real knowledge of how their accounts on social media should have been handled or protected.
For this reason, I would like to delve into the topic of the prompt which is all about , “How do you protect yourself from online scammers?”
One thing I would like to thank God for is my ability to create and use a strong password to safeguard all my online or social media accounts. I would not have known how to do this if not for the fact that I have been once scammed via a fake link sent to me by the online scammers through which after clicking the said link, fell victim of their scamming acts and ever since then, I have always safeguard my all my accounts through the use of strong passwords for my various online accounts.
Aside from this, I have also stopped clicking on links anyhow as I was known for before now. This I have stopped so as not to allow the scammers to infiltrate my account as they have once done to me in the past.
Also, another thing I do to safeguard and protect my account is to verify my messages very well so as not to fall victim to the scammers' operations.
I have seen people being defrauded via calls and text messages both online and offline. So, whenever I see such things, I used to make sure that I verify the very source of the message or calls before taking steps to make the necessary response to the message and if it's not a genuine message, then I discard it for security reasons, but if it is, I act on it accordingly.
In conclusion, this and many more ways are how I have been able to deal with scammers and also safeguard my online account which has helped me to still be active Online till today.
