Scams are every where

Caution. Don't fall for scams.

This morning I received via e-mail:

"Hello Customer,

This one was easy. I don't have Amazon Prime. But you might. Many scams are out there imitating real companies--using believable logos--we recently were caught by one pretending to be our cable provider. I get other e-mails and texts supposedly from UPS, or just a simple, "Hi, I haven't heard from you for a while," or "Did I miss your call" without any name. Don't give any recording or "person" (could be AI) any information like your SS or credit card number.

 
It's a mess to clean up, and they move faster than we can to correct it. There are bad people out there, and they aren't all in D.C.
