Be suspicious of any offer made by telephone, on a web site or in an e-mail that seems too good to be true.
Before responding to a telephone, mail or Internet offer, determine if the person or business making the offer is legitimate.
Do not respond to an unsolicited e-mail that promises some benefit but requests personal identifying information.
Beware of ‘work from home’ schemes that are offered on career websites. If they are asking you to open accounts or move money for the company, this is most likely a scam.
You are responsible and liable for items you cash, borrow or deposit into your account; whether they are a check money order, cashier’s check, loan proceeds, etc.
