By: The Roseville Police Department Scams are becoming increasingly convincing, fueled by AI, emotional manipulation, and a sense of false urgency. Criminals impersonate trusted people and organizations to steal money, personal information, or account access. Knowing how these scams work is one of the best ways to protect your finances, identity, and peace of mind. Common scams to watch for Impersonation Scams AI has made it harder to detect fake emails, voice clones, and even deepfake videos. Scammers may pose as your bank, a business, or a family member to pressure you into acting quickly. Their goal: Access to your money or accounts. Stay safe: Verify before you trust. Hang up and contact the organization using an official phone number. Never share personal or financial information in response to an unexpected call, text, or email. Romance Scams These scams continue to grow, with seniors frequently targeted. Scammers build online relationships using fake identities, then request money, gift cards, or “emergency” help. A recent Roseville case resulted in a $1 million loss. Their goal: Gain your trust to get you to send money. Stay safe: Be cautious with online-only relationships. Never send money or gifts to someone you haven’t met in person. Talk to a trusted friend or family member before sending funds. Fake “Fraud Alert” Calls or Texts Scammers pretend to be from your bank, warning you of suspicious activity. They pressure you to “verify” information or move money to a so-called “safe account.” Their goal: Gain access to your account or trick you into moving money directly to them. Legitimate companies will never: Ask for your online banking password or full debit card PIN. Request one-time passcodes sent to your device. Tell you to move money “for protection.” Threaten to close your account if you don’t act immediately. Stay safe: Never share personal or financial information with an unexpected caller, texter, or email sender. Contact your financial institution using the phone number on your bank statement or debit/credit card. Online Marketplace Scams Fake listings and deposit scams are common on platforms like Facebook Marketplace. Scammers push urgency and request untraceable payments. Their goal: Steal your money. Stay safe: Verify listings and messages before paying. Use secure payment methods with buyer protection. Avoid gift cards and wire transfers. Final Tips for 2026 Stay informed—scam tactics evolve quickly. If something sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a scam. Guard your personal information and limit what you share online. Criminals are always adapting. Staying alert and informed will put you in a stronger position to protect yourself and your finances throughout 2026.

By: The Roseville Police Department Planning to give a gift card this holiday season? They’re convenient, versatile, and unfortunately, a popular target for scammers. “Gift card draining” enables thieves to steal the funds before the recipient can use the card. Here’s how the scam works and how to protect yourself. How gift card draining works Scammers tamper with cards before they’re purchased. Common tactics include: Stealing card info: Thieves remove cards from store racks, record the numbers and PINs, often by taking quick photos, and put them back. Swapping with fakes: In some cases, they replace legitimate cards with high-quality counterfeits. Monitoring activation: After tampering, scammers track the card online or use bots to check when it’s activated. Draining the balance: As soon as money hits the card, they spend or transfer the funds instantly By the time the gift is unwrapped, the balance is usually long gone. How to Protect Yourself Retailers are working to improve security, but you can take simple steps to reduce risk: Inspect the card and packaging: Look for torn packaging, peeled or scratched stickers, exposed PINs, or any signs that the pack was opened and resealed. Buy cards kept behind the counter: Cards stored with staff or handed to you directly are far less likely to be tampered with. Choose digital gift cards: Purchasing directly from the retailer’s website eliminates physical tampering. Keep the card details secure and only redeem through trusted payment portals. Use the card promptly: Encourage the recipient to use the balance soon to minimize the window scammers have to access it. Keep receipts and check balances: Hold onto proof of purchase and monitor the balance until the card is fully spent. This can improve your chances of reimbursement if fraud occurs. Stay one step ahead this season Gift card draining is a holiday headache no one wants. With a quick inspection and some smart purchasing choices, especially digital cards, you can help ensure your gift goes to your loved one, not a scammer’s stocking.
