This scam has been around for a while,...
but with so many young and new members here, I thought it might be important enough to pass along.
this, as well as many other scams, are ways that the scammers can catch you off guard, and cause you years of grief.
The bottom line is,...
NEVER, EVER, EVER, give out your personal info over the phone or in responce to emails.
EVEN IF you think you know who the request is coming from.
Hopefully this will help protect the members here who may be unaware of the importance of this.
