New Scams

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:27:31 GMT

creative new ways to scam unsuspecting people out of their money

GIFT CARD FRAUD

Lesson: In any store, don't buy the gift cards displayed on store racks. Ask at the customer service desk whether there are any cards kept behind the counter

LATEST LOTTERY CON

Lesson: Be suspicious whenever you're asked for money, even if you have already been paid a larger amount in the form of a check. It can take many weeks for a bank to determine whether a foreign or cashier's check is valid.

ON-LINE DATING

Lesson: A con artist might spend months building rapport on-line before asking for a dime. Even if you think you know this person well, consider that you really don't know anyone from your communications over the Internet -- you just know the way he/she chooses to present himself in E-mail.

HIT MAN CON

Lesson: Con men know that making victims fear for their lives is a great way to encourage them to hand over their money. Good con artists learn a few details about their intended victims

clipper's remarks: make sure your coworkers have a good sense of humor first!

sticky memos are sometimes the best way to leave a fast note on someone's chair or computer keyboard (like old school IMs). The only problem with sticky memos is sometimes people see and read memos that aren't theirs. And this is where the genius of Prank Memo Sticky Notes comes in.

Each Sticky Note mentions something that you wouldn't want your office mates to read or know about - which is why they are perfect to leave on unsuspecting coworkers desks. And they look handwritten to add to the verisimilitude of the prank. Just stick it on someone's monitor and mention to the office gossip that you saw a juicy note. Each note looks handwritten, so it's very believable. Soon the news will be all over the office. What fun! "Oh, Jason does what in his free time? I can't believe that!" Because, as every office prankster knows, humor at someone else's expense is quite often the most rewarding.
