17. Here are some questions to ask yourself when evaluating
messages and sites you find online. You can use this as a
guide as you answer the following questions.
Does this app look right?
Sometimes fake apps—that look a lot like real
ones—get advertised in website popups or
show up in app stores. Look out for spelling
mistakes, a tiny number of user reviews or
sloppy graphics.
Is the email offering you something for free?
Free offers usually aren’t really free.
Is it asking for your personal information?
Some scammers ask for personal info so
they can send you more scams. Most real
businesses wonʼt ask for personal
information in a message or from anywhere
except their own websites.
Is it a chain email or social post?
Texts and posts that ask you to forward them
to everyone you know can put you and others
at risk. Don’t do it unless you’re sure of the
source and sure the message is safe to pass
on.
Does it have fine print?
At the bottom of most documents you’ll find the
“fine print.” This text is tiny, and often contains
the stuff you’re supposed to miss. For example, a
headline at the top might say you’ve won a free
phone, but in the fine print you’ll read that you
actually have to pay that company $200 per
month.
