Scams are everywhere...now discover exactly how
to protect yourself! · The truth about recognizing today’s newest scams--online
and off
· The truth about safeguarding your money, health, and
reputation
· The truth about phishing, vishing, pharming, slamming, and
more
Scams have always been with us, and they always will be -
except now, technology makes scammers' jobs even easier,
enabling them to reach out from anywhere around the world,
and take advantage of more people than ever before. No
matter how smart you think you are, you can easily become a
victim: in fact, scammers have discovered that educated,
sophisticated individuals are among their best targets.
The Truth About Avoiding Scams arms you with
everything you need to protect yourself: real,
up-to-the-minute knowledge, and the "internal sensors" you
need to sniff out even the subtlest, most well-crafted
scams. Consumer finance expert and nationally syndicated
radio host Steve Weisman offers quick, bite-size,
just-the-facts information about every type of fraud, from
identity scams to computer-based fraud, travel and health
scams to phony educational loans and scholarships. Weisman
exposes the new epidemic of "affinity fraud," where "people
just like you" target you based on your ethnicity, racial
group, church, club, or fraternal organization. You'll find
up-to-the-minute guidance on avoiding illegitimate online
dating services; "cramming" and other phone frauds; tax and
Social Security scams; employment, home repair, and
investment scams; and a whole lot more. Unlike some books on scams, this one's simple to read,
simple to use, up to date, and complete: the only guide you
need to keep yourself safe!
