Tax season: Beware of Fraud

Tax season: Beware of Fraud

Is your identity safe? Who sent that email? How did they get your email address? Forget the cyber police, and, no, Charles Bronson is not walking the cyber streets late at night protecting your identity.

Tax season results in scams where phony emails arrive in your inbox posed as a government service. These emails ask you to provide personal information in hopes of speeding up the preparation of tax returns or securing a refund. Actually, these emails may only provide you with a cyber death wish, identity fraud. 

Charles Bronson says: Protect your identity! 

 Do not supply your personal information, such as Social Security numbers or credit card numbers, to anyone. The IRS doesn't discuss tax matters with people by e-mail. Also, do not open attachments or follow links in unsolicited e-mails. Simply, delete the emails.

You can read more on scams at:  http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/mar/20/what-if-ive-been-scammed/    

If you have any questions about scams you may file a complaint with UCAN.

Watch Autoships Too

When calling for any products from an infomercial watch out for auto shipping and the clubs that come at the end of an order Auto shipping is a scam in and of it’s self I have a friend that works in the industry and he tells me the following

1. Whether it is internet or a phone sale the auto ship is explained however it is never clear. They are trained to gloss over auto ships and just meet the FCC guidelines that keep them out of court.
2. This is true only for the 800 number call operators are standing by calls STAY AWAY FROM THE FREE OFFERS AT THE END OF THE CALL (Called Clubs). They are trained to try and lull you in by using a very monotone voice and at the end of the statement saying “OK” real brightly. People they are reading you a CONTRACT and it IS binding The best way to not mess with these is as soon as they start hang up!!
