In today’s society it is common to be worried about being scammed out of money. Especially in recent months when the economy has been so bad, and people are feeling the crunch to make a little extra cash for the holidays. So how do you make sure that you are not being scammed? With helpful hints from the Dolans at Wallet Pop they make it easier to look for signs of a scam being in operation.

The Dolans talked about how there is a new scam over the internet going on and how people should make sure they do no give any of their personal information out via e-mail. If someone receives something from a mortgage company or their bank they should be cautious because it could very likely be a scam. People should contact their bank or mortgage companies before e-mailing any personal information.

The article also talked about how you should not cash a blank, unexpected check you receive in the mail because it is probably a scam to get money out of you. The article said that you should never have to pay a fee in advance for a credit card either because more than likely it is just another way to receive money out of someone.

I found this article to be very helpful; it gave out many usual hints on how to avoid scams being played on you. If I had not read this article I would not have known about any of these scams. I believe this article to be very useful information for anyone, especially in today’s society, it is well worth the time to read it.
