Unsure about
an offer too good to be true? Did you
meet someone who is promising money in exchange for assistance now? Is someone calling and saying you owe money
you don’t recall receiving, and wanting you to pay it back in non-traditional
ways?
Before
handing over your hard-earned money, seek guidance from a trusted friend or
family member or from the police department because these likely are scams.
