| FRAUD BULLETIN
- please be EXTREMELY WARY of offers by distant
strangers to send you a high value (but counterfeit) cashier's check, and then have you wire the balance
to them. These offers are sometimes emailed to craigslist posters,
often as offers for sale items. Banks will cash these counterfeit
checks, but then hold you responsible for the funds
when the check fails to clear! If you have been victimized, you can
contact the FTC toll-free at 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) or use the
complaint form at www.ftc.gov, or
call the Canadian PhoneBusters hotline toll-free at 1-888-495-8501. |
