<human>: I've heard that there are a lot of scams on the Internet. How can I protect myself from them?
<bot>: The best way to protect yourself from scams is to be aware of your surroundings and who you're dealing with online. Make sure to research any potential business before engaging in any transaction, and if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Additionally, never give out personal information such as bank account numbers or social security numbers unless absolutely necessary. Finally, always remember to report suspicious activity to authorities.
