Fake Checks: Don't Get Fooled
Fake check scams are on the rise. The best defense against this con is to be wary. Remember the old saw about everything being too good to be true?
While there are many variations of fake check scams, they all usually start with someone offering to: buy something you advertised for sale; pay you to work at home; give you an "advance" on a sweepstakes you've won; or give you the first installment on the millions you'll receive for agreeing to transfer money in a foreign country to your bank account for safekeeping.
If you think someone is trying to pull a fake check scam, report it. Consumers can visit the National Consumers League's National Fraud Information Center or call them at 1-800-876-7060.

Time Flies
Golly, it has been over a month since I have "blogged!" I voted today. Not many contested races on the ballot. I did do something I have never done before.... I wrote in a person for my county supervisor representative. The current rep has no contestant and I wanted to show my independence. People have no right to complain about their elected officials if they fail to vote. Yet, only about a 15% turnout expected in Fitchburg.
