If you can't afford to lose $500 right now, then keep reading.

Does this sound familiar?

"This call is to inform you about an arrest warrant filed under your name. Please call us back at XXX-XXX-XXXX immediately to resolve this legal matter."

If you receive a voicemail like this, your first instinct might be to call the phone number provided in the message, or press "1" while on the phone to connect with a legal officer.

But if you do that, you'll walk right into a scam.

Countless new scams & how to fend them off

Hope Oje’s SCAM! HOW TO AVOID THE SCAMS THAT COST VICTIMS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR was eye-opening. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, scammers keep leveling up the game. There are so many avenues that scammers use — tech support scams, Roku scams, Facebook scams, DEA scams, even philanthropic scams - these were all news to me. Thanks to this quick read, I will recognize them for what they are: hoaxes to defraud money from random, innocent people.
I learned that ANYONE, in a moment of weakness or fear, can make the mistake of believing a scammer’s proposition and fall prey to these thieves. This book provides practical advise to protect your savings and privacy from scammers. I highly recommend it.
