Scammers take advantage of economic crisis.
Contributed by: John Scherer   on 10/2/2008

Our economy is a mess. Congress is trying to come up with a way to fix it.

Guess what? Scammers and crooks are taking advantage of it to rip you off.

I just readthis great article by Jon Swartz in USA Today.

With all the banks failing or being taken over almost every day, scammers are sending out fake e-mails to people like you.

If one ends up in your in-box, it will look very official. You'll think it's real. That's what the scammers are counting on.

Don't answer any of these e-mails. Delete them asap. Got a question about your own bank? Call them on the phone or stop by your regular branch.

Our "Protect Yourself Online" tutorial is an ideal way to learn how to keep you and your family safe from the crooks who read the same headlines you do.
