Graduation season and family celebrations are exciting milestones — but they can also create opportunities for scammers targeting distracted or emotional decision-making.
Melissa Bouchillon, CFP®, Managing Partner & Chief Compliance Officer at Sound View Wealth Advisors, encourages individuals to take a second look at even legitimate-looking invitations, ticket requests, or payment updates.
Before sending deposits, purchasing tickets, or updating payment information:
• Verify through official channels
• Confirm requests independently
• Slow down before acting quickly
Awareness is one of the strongest tools for protecting your financial well-being.
