Don’t let scammers win in 2025—stay one step ahead.

We’re one month into 2025. Whether you’re crushing your New Year’s resolutions list for better financial wellness or just getting started, here’s one resolution worth adding: staying scam-free in 2025.

Fraud prevention doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some fraud prevention resolutions to help you stay on track:

Pause Before Acting on Unexpected Requests

When contacted about urgent matters like account issues or surprise winnings, resist the urge to respond immediately. If something feels off or too good to be true, reach out to us for guidance. With decades of experience, we can guide you in the right direction to keep your finances safe.

Protect Your Personal Information

Scammers often pose as trustworthy sources to extract sensitive data, such as Social Security numbers, full card numbers, passwords, or account information. Keep your multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes private, knowing that legitimate organizations like MembersOwn will never ask for them.

Monitor Your Finances Regularly

Early detection is key to stopping fraud in its tracks. Review your bank and credit card statements at least once a week and check your credit report annually to spot any unauthorized transactions or unfamiliar accounts. Federal law entitles you to one free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting companies.

Stay Informed About the Latest Scams

Beware of imposter scams that claim to be a trusted organization or someone you know and use fear to manipulate, tech support scams that request remote access to personal devices, or investment frauds that lure people with promises of quick wealth.
