Hi all!
Just thought I'd tell you briefly about a couple of scams I read about in
messages, in case you didn't hear about them. I looked them up on
snopes.com, and they say they're real.
There's the scam in which you find out that you failed to report for jury
duty and there is a warrant for your arrest. Probably most of us know
better than to give out personal info when we receive a call.
Another utilizes some foreign area codes to ring up charges on your phone
bill. I read on the urban legend site that, although this is a real fraud,
it happens rarely, and the victims lose only a small amount of money. I
think that if I get a message with an unfamiliar area code and number, I'll
just not return the call.
Talk with ya later!
