Scammers don’t take holidays off and neither should your online security. With scam activity surging during the holiday season, the Tech Against Scams Coalition, featuring leaders like Coinbase, Meta, and Match Group, is sounding the alarm.
Coinbase and the Tech Against Scams Coalition share how to keep yourself and your information safe
60% of Americans will be targeted by a scam, but 1 in 5 don't report being scammed due to embarrassment or feeling like it's their own fault. However, scammers are getting more sophisticated, and almost everyone is at risk. To help protect yourself, never send money to someone you don't know.

Always use trusted platforms when entering sensitive information online.
