Tweet

You may heard or read this million times. Impostor scams all over the world, and it is still going on within the United States, and I believe also happen in other part of the world. Getting someone's information is absolutely easy nowadays, thanks to the internet and public information record for a merely of $30 - $40. Once the criminals gain your info, and they might target your oldest relatives, especially your granny. They are the easy one. Some common scheme might call them up, and pretend to be you. They would ask your granny for money by saying that you are in hospital, or in emergency situation that you need them to wire you the money ASAP. So, watch out on this. They can steal your closest relative money just to pretend to be you or saying that you are in bleak situation that you need money right away. Do not fall for it. Teach your grandparents to ask other relatives about you whereabouts, or you well - being. Shame on those criminals. Also, do not post a lot of information on facebook or twitter, criminals also scour those social network sites to get your recent info.
