Fraud Alert

There are so many scams out there. We need to think before we respond to emails we get. Look at the following and make sure you have not been involoved in a scam.


When buying things online...

Is the amount of the check more than the item's selling price?

Is the check drawn on a business or individual account that is different from the person buying your item?

Emails you receive...

Have you been informed that you were the winner of a LATTERY, such as Canadian, Australia, El Gordo, or El Mundo, that you did not enter?

Have you been instructed to either "WIRE", "SEND", or "SHIP" money as soon as possible, to a large U.S. city or to another country, such as Canada, England, or Nigeria?

Have you been asked to PAY money to receive a deposit from another Country?

Are you receiving PAY or a COMMISSION for facilitating money transfers through your account?

Did you respond to an email requesting you to CONFIRM, UPDAT, or PROVIDE your account number?

There are so many scammers out there. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!
