How to spot—and stop—imposter scams.
Investment scammers are getting more savvy and increasingly personal. They may pose as investment professionals, leaders of trusted financial institutions, and even employees, all to gain your confidence and trust. With vigilance and a few tips on imposter tactics and techniques, you can recognize these fraudsters and steer clear of their traps.
Here
are foursigns to watch out for:
• Too-good-to-be-true offers. If you’re getting an unsolicited investment offer, especially one claiming guaranteed orunusually high returns, watch out. Opportunities that sound too good to be true probably are.
• High-pressure tactics. Messages or social media ads that demand your attention are trying to press your panic button. Don’t fall for any urgent requests to act immediately to “protect” your account, avoid losses, or accept a special offer.
• Contacts from out of the blue. Unexpectedmessages you receive through social media, messaging apps, texts, or emails you didn’t initiate are often a good sign you’re being targeted by a fraudster.
• Access and download requests. Think twice if you receive any requests to downloadsoftware, share one-time passcodes, or allow remote access to your device. You never want to give fraudsters access to your accounts or private information.
If you encounter any of these:
Stop. Don’t give out or confirmany personal information (even if they already have it). Never send money, open new accounts, or take any action without stopping to verify what you aredoing is legitimate. Financial Institutions will never contact you through social media or messaging apps to offer investments or request personal information.
Drop. Scammers can’t reach you if you disengage. Hang up the call, ignore the chat, swipe past the ad, or leave the group and then block the phone number or profiles so they can’t contact you again. Then report the incident as spam or scam to the company or platform where you received it.
Report. If you received a suspicious call or notice any suspicious activity on any of your financial accounts, contact them immediately.
Stay informed, stay protected.
Your Financial Institution is always ready to help you protect your assets. You can strengthen your information security by learning more about fraud from your bank, credit cards etc.….

**Definition: Dodgy Text: A "dodgy" text refers to a message that is suspicious, untrustworthy, potentially fraudulent (a scam), or of poor quality. These messages are often "smishing" (SMS phishing) attempts, designed to trick recipients into clicking malicious links to steal personal or financial information **How to Handle Them:
Do not reply or click links.
Delete the message immediately.
Report the message to your carrier or relevant authorities. If something seems too good to be true, or if it asks for sensitive information urgently, it is likely a dodgy text.

How to solve sudoku puzzles
April Sudoku
No math is required to solve a sudoku. You only need logic and patience.
Simply make sure that each 3x3 square region has only one instance of the numbers 1-9. Similarly, each number can only
appear once in a column or row in the larger grid. The difficulty on this puzzle is easy.
The headline is a clue to the answer in the diagonal.

The lighter side
Psychiatry seminar
Psychiatry students were attending their first seminar. It was on emotional extremes. The professor wanted to establish some parameters, so he asked what they would say was the opposite of joy.
"Sadness," replied Mr. Nichols.
Ms. Biggs defined the opposite of depression as elation.
"And Mr. Martin, what is the opposite of woe?"
Bubba replied, "I believe that would be giddyup!"
The speeder
A man is stopped by police for speeding and the officer asks him for his license.
"I don't have one," the man says. "It was taken away for drunk driving."
So the officer asks for the man's vehicle registration.
"I don't have one," the man says. "This car is stolen and I've murdered the owner and stuck him in the trunk."
At this point, the officer calls for backup and in no time 10 police cars surround the stopped speeder.
The sergeant on the scene approaches the car and orders the man to open his trunk. He does and it is empty. The sergeant then asks for the man's driver's license. The man pulls out a valid license and vehicle registration.
"I don't get it," the sergeant says, "My officer here says you told him you had no license or registration and that you stole this car."
The man shakes his head and says, "I bet that liar told you I was speeding too."
