Money Talks: Scams

Money Talks takes call on the scams targeting our listeners. If there is one sentence you should memorize regarding how not to become a victim of a scam it is this: “Never wire money to someone you don’t know.” Another good sentence to remember is this: “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.” Listen to your “inner voice” when it’s telling you to beware, or call a trusted friend or family member to get another perspective before you act.So, if you have concerns about whether something is legitimate or a scam, or you suspect that you have become a victim of a scam, please contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General’s Office at 601-359-4230 or 1-800-281-4418, if you are in Mississippi.http://www.ago.state.ms.us/victims/scams/MPB's EverydayTech's episode October 4th, 2017 also covered Avoiding Scams: http://www.mpbonline.org/blogs/everyday-tech/2017/10/04/everyday-tech-avoiding-scams/ Hosted on Acast.
