Definition
A scam is a dishonest scheme to trick you into giving money, personal data, or access — often through fake messages, calls, ads, or websites that look legitimate.
Real-World Example
A text claiming “Your package is held — pay $3.99 to release” with a strange link is a common delivery scam.
