Fraudulent Telemarketers
The United States Postmaster General offers some guidelines for recognizing people who want to steal your money over the telephone. The voice on the other end may say you've won a prize but ask you first to send money, or to act immediately, to wire money, or have someone pick up money from your home. Another common technique is for the person to say they are a law enforcement officer. Never give your credit card, checking account or social security number to an unknown caller.
