Stay informed and protect yourself from the latest scams targeting OneAZ members. Here are the scams we're currently seeing:
12.10.2024 Job Offer Scam
Be cautious of job offer scams sent via text message, especially if you didn’t apply for the position. Scammers may impersonate well-known companies to lure you into sharing personal information. If you receive a job offer by text from a company you didn’t apply to, it’s likely a scam.

11.29.24 Holiday Shopping Scam
Stay safe on this shopping holiday! Before you buy, do some research about the merchant before you buy, check the terms of the sale pay by credit card, and never buy from online sellers who demand you pay with gift cards, wire transfers, payment apps, or cryptocurrency. Only scammers tell you to pay that way.

08.13.2024 Utility Payment Scam
Only scammers demand you pay a certain way - a way that makes it hard for you to get your money back. Be on the lookout for those who create a sense of urgency and suggest you wire money, put money on a gift card, use payment apps, pay with a scannable barcode or QR code, or pay using cryptocurrency. Your utility company won’t demand you pay that way.
WhatsApp Scam
Scammers are targeting WhatsApp users with fake remote job offers. You might receive a message promising a job that pays hundreds of dollars a day. However, there’s a catch—they’ll ask for your Social Security number. Do not share it.
