Below is a list of the most popular scams that you should be familiar with so that you can spot them. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
Below is a list of the most popular scams that you should be familiar with so that you can spot them. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
- Medicare/health insurance scams: Perpetrators of these scams pose as Medicare representatives to get your personal information. (Never give personal information away to strangers. If you think it is a legitimate call, get their name and call the company back using the phone number that you have on file. Don't use the number the caller gives you.
- Counterfeit prescription drugs: Paying for fake drugs that can harm your body, not just your wallet.
- Funeral and cemetery scams: Scammers prey on next of kin and claim the deceased had an outstanding debt.
- Fraudulent anti-aging products: These can range from fake Botox or homeopathic remedies that do nothing.
- Telemarketing/phone scams: This is the most common scheme because it is hard to trace. Scammers get the victim to trust them by preying on their emotions. Never give them credit card numbers.
- Internet fraud: Targets users to download malicious software at a cost that may allow scammers to copy files or steal personal information.
- Investment schemes: Investment schemes that steal the money rather than safeguard it. Pyramid schemes like Bernie Madoff's or a "prince" from a foreign country looking for a partner to claim inheritance money.
- Homeowner/reverse mortgage scams: These scams come in the form of elaborate letters or phone calls from companies that will charge a fee to reassess the property value of the home to lower the property taxes.
- Sweepstakes and lottery scams: Victims have been informed that they have won a lottery or sweepstakes and need to make a payment to unlock the "prize."
- The grandparent scam: A call is placed to an older person and the scammer will tell them that a family member needs money for an unexpected financial problem (late rent, car repairs, bail money, etc.).
And remember, Courts will not let you post bail with gift cards. This has become such a problem, that store clerks are trained to ask people why they are purchasing gift cards; especially if someone is purchasing a large number of them.
