This month your H/AREA Internet Home Page Editors highlight two recent scams you need to be aware of.
H/AREA Vice President Kundan Patel reported this scam when he advertised a product for sale on Craigslist.
The scam is that they will send you a money order for more than the price and ask you to send back the balance to them. When you go to cash the money order it bounces and you end holding the bag.
The scam e-mail read as follows:
My assistant told me that your item is avilabe for sale, I am on a business trip and wouldn't want to lose it to someone else I am willing to pay your asking price.I will pay by money order as its the only way i can pay you at the moment.I will make arrangement for the pick-up after payment have been received by you. I dont mind adding an extra fourty dollars {$40} so you can keep it in my favor.Reply with your full name,r,and address where payment should be sent.Please take the posting off craigslist today and consider it sold to me. Expecting to hear from you soon. Regards
Thanks, Kundan.
The IRS reported the following scam:
The IRS is warning the public about a phone scam that targets people across the nation. Callers claiming to be from the IRS tell intended victims they owe taxes and must pay using a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer. The scammers threaten those who refuse to pay with arrest, deportation or loss of a business or driver’s license.
The truth is the IRS usually first contacts people by mail – not by phone – about unpaid taxes. And the IRS won’t ask for payment using a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer. The agency also won’t ask for a credit card number over the phone.
