Yes, once you have been scammed you pick up on the questions you are being ask. They want personal information, which you don't need to give. Next the first mention of any type of money is the dead give away. It might be gift cards, bank info. They might have sent you a check and start asking for money to purchase something for why they're speaking to you. The latest was a sales promotion for advertising for mountain dew. They sent a check, pressure you to quickly deposit it. It's only partial payment. Then they message you asking for money back to make purchases for you.
