To avoid being scammed, follow these tips from the BBB:
*Do not answer calls from numbers you do not recognize.
*If you do answer and are asked questions that seem to be fishing for a "yes" or "no" answer, do not respond and hang up immediately.
*Never give out any personal information over the phone when you are unsure of the caller.
*Make a note of the number and report it to BBB Scam Tracker to help warn others.
*As always, check your bank and credit card statements regularly for unauthorized charges.
