The scum scammers are still at it.
They recognize every opportunity possible to separate you from your money.
When the federal government announced they were going to distribute billions to households in Canada as a Grocery rebate, the scum scammers could hardly wait.
The amount being sent could run as high as:
- $467 if you are single
- $612 if you are married or have a common-law partner
- $161 for each child under the age of 19
A Patron sent this one to us: Within hours of the money being deposited into the bank accounts the scum scammers were at it – using every platform (Twitter, Facebook, direct email) they could find to tell you that you are entitled to the rebate and it will get to you just as soon is as you confirm your bank account number.
Some people might have fallen for that one – the scammers didn’t realize that the funds were already in the bank accounts of those that qualified.
Losing your savings is one thing – the emotional damage lasts a life time.
There isn’t a week that goes by without our reading about someone who lost a lot of money because they were taken in by a scammer or a con artist – aren’t they the same thing?
The really tragic ones are those people who want someone in their life and they part with their money only to learn that the person that was romancing this wasn’t real or sincere. A recent reported case saw a woman lose $50,000
There is one golden rule; Trust your instincts – if in doubt – don’t
