Scams

WARNING:

I just read ANOTHER story of someone getting fooled by a scam when they received a call from “Microsoft” telling them they have a virus on their computer.

THINK! How would Microsoft get your phone number?

Microsoft won’t call you.

Calls from people saying they represent Google, probably don’t.

Your utility will not call and require you to give them a credit card number right now.

No company is going to require you get a Green Dot or Itunes card to pay for some utility bill.

The IRS will not call you.

The gas company probably won’t come to see if you have a leak (unless you call them first). On guy will keep you busy outside (for your safety) while the other robs your house.

If you are “dating” someone on the Internet and have not met in person, you need to watch the TV show “Catfish”.

If a young relative calls you and says they are in jail, stuck overseas, etc and just need money wired to them and not to tell the parents, you are probably being scammed.

There is no one willing to give you millions of dollars.

You did not win anything if you are told you won but have to pay some fees up front to get the money.

Scams, scams, scams, etc, etc, etc.
