Scammers are getting smarter about where they target you

Scammers are becoming more strategic about where they target people. Nine in ten toll scams—the fake unpaid-toll messages that threaten fines or license suspension—arrive by email or text, while roughly six in ten romance scams show up first on social media. Rather than blasting the same message everywhere, criminals are tailoring different scams to the platforms where they’re most likely to succeed.
