PROTECT YOURSELF FROM SCAMS

Please be aware that AJ1, the FBI, police, Social Security Administration, IRS or any other type of agency in the U.S. will not call or email demanding payment or personal information from you. This is a scam!

What are the warning signs?

The person asking for payment right now.
The person asking for payment in form of a gift card.
Demanding personal information
