I’m pretty sure I have seen a few ads for jobs which are just a ploy to get personal into for identity theft.

What kinds of scams have you seen and what should I look out for?

I received a strange email stating that I’m a beneficiary to millions. I’ve heard of many scams wanting money. But, not giving it away. They asked for my name, number, address, occupation, age and my Drivers license. I’m not falling for it. However, If this is some sort of scam or Identity theft gathering, how does one report this?

This past week I found myself the victim of a scam artist who used my debit card information obtained illegally to empty my bank accounts. Before we caught it my finances were completely messed up.

I was lucky; with diligent effort we caught the **)**&^%$# so and so and he is now in jail. I would like to let the world know about this guy in case anyone ever comes into contact with him they will no he is a con artist and not give him any information. But, I don’t know the best way to do it. Is anyone familiar with the blogsphere … would that be a good way to get the word out? Any help would be nice as I am a pretty nice person, and this guy is a REAL BAD person.
:-)
thanks

i got a letter in the mail yesterday, and it says that i got a student loan from the sallie mae foundation (000) and that they already sent it to the university (simpson University) last week (i only got it yesterday? whats up with that?). It also says that i signed something, but i never signed anyhthing like that. i am also 17 yearsold and i havent gradated high school yet!! the letter got my address and phone number right, but they spelled my name wrong.
what should i do? is this a scam? but the university and the foundation are real… im soooo scared!!
i dont even have a bank account or anything… how can they do that?
