Scams

I have read about people getting letters from Nigerian princes or grandchildren stranded in a foreign country but it has never happened to me. Until this week. I have received two letters from so-called friends who are stranded in London because someone stole their credit cards and they can't get home without my help. I heard from one saying to ignore the email as she is here and is fine. In both cases, my friends and I have a Yahoo listserv in common. We all retired from the local school district and keep in touch with the listserve. We also belong to Facebook. I will have to be alert to such things now. Watch out, Nigerian prince. Sorry, friend, I have no money to get you home.

Beware losing a check because they can get into your bank account via
internet and raid it. It happened to me and I got all my money back because
the check was marked voided but they already had all my information and it
was murder getting it all straight including the automatic debits.

It's what I don't see that scares me (like credit card info stolen).
