<human>: What is a good way to make sure I'm not being scammed?
<bot>: The best way to ensure that you are not being scammed is to be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. Ask questions, research the company or person before engaging with them, and never give out personal information such as bank account details or social security numbers unless you're absolutely certain about the situation. Additionally, if something seems off, don't hesitate to contact authorities or report it to a trusted friend or family member for advice.
