Don’t fall for the call this Valentine’s Day with Michael A. O'Donnell — Valentine’s Day is a popular time for scammers to try to exploit people’s emotions, and the Missouri Securities Division, led by Commissioner O’Donnell, reminds Missourians to stay alert to unsolicited calls asking for money or personal information. Scammers often pose as trusted officials or romantic interests to trick you into sharing sensitive data or sending funds, so never provide financial details to someone who contacts you out of the blue and always verify the legitimacy of any offer through official channels before taking action.
