 Scams
Scams
are business deals designed to draw you in, then
rip you off. Consider
the one here at the left!
Everybody would love to make that kind of money and work that little, but c’mon,
is it really possible? If something sounds ridiculous, then it usually is. |
| Here is a list
of potential scams to know about and avoid, completely. |
 |
Receiving a bill for items
you never purchased. Throw the bill away. |
 |
Receiving a notice for
a winning lottery ticket you never bought. Throw
that
away, too. |
 |
Psychics claiming you could
come into a fortune by sending money to a
post office
box. Ignore the claim. |
 |
Work-from-home scams usually
require that you send a company a fee for information
on how to build a business from home. These scams
promise high incomes for easy work, such as stuffing
envelopes, making phone calls, or typing. Don’t
get caught up in a work-from-home deal unless you
are working with a trusted
adult. |
 |
Email scams, where you
are asked to submit personal information such as
your social security number, credit card information,
or mother’s maiden name are completely phony.
Never provide your personal information to someone
;you don't know, unless you are dealing with a business
you trust, such as your bank. |
