Scams/Other

One of our newsletter subscribers called me to report that she may have been a potential victim of a scam. She received a telephone call from “Wells Fargo Bank”, according to her “Caller I.D.” The caller wanted to verify a purchase of an iPhone from Amazon and wanted her to “press one” or “press two”. The subscriber gave none of her personal information to the caller, but she felt this may have been a ruse to give her information to someone. The victim did not purchase an iPhone from Amazon, and she said her bank account was fine.

Nextdoor.com is a free private social networking website for your neighborhood. This private network ensures that only those who live in your neighborhood can join; users must go through a verification process. Neighbors ask each other for business recommendations; help in locating missing pets; discuss relevant local government issues; or connect for other reasons. It is very easy to sign up. I like the fact that the site verifies users by addresses, and it won’t allow people to access to a neighborhood if they don’t live there.
