How to avoid election related scams

This report warns about US election-themed scams—fake donation solicitations, phishing surveys, and voter registration fraud—delivered via emails, texts, social media, and robocalls, and provides practical guidance to stay safe: avoid clicking unsolicited links or opening attachments, donate only via official candidate websites (not ads), ignore and report robocalls and unsolicited texts, refrain from sharing personal data in surveys, favor payment methods with stronger fraud protections (credit cards), and actively monitor financial accounts for suspicious activity.
