[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2387844, member: 117774"] Many scams are cropping up across many networks. A group from overseas got access to my 401 K account and cleverly tried to get me to wire them $25,000 to clear up an error in a so called transaction. When I looked at my account from my end, everything looked legit, even a phone call to my account advisor turned up nothing suspicious. But when I called my brother-in-law who heads up a Calif FBI office, he told me some things to watch out for, and sure enough, it was a scam. I filed a complete report with the FBI, but the amount did not meet their threshold for investigation and prosecution. Another time, online I was attempting to make a purchase of Reloader 15 and 17 and the vendor came up with some requirements that I hadn't seen before - pre payment requirements. I backed out and sure enough that was a scam also. The crooks are copying legit websites and making them look real, but be aware of those that have unusual requirements or misspellings. Vehicle scams are quite common also. If the deal sounds too good to be true, it usually is. [/QUOTE]
