Year End and New Year Credit Scams

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Previews International (#1 Marin_Sonoma_San Francisco_North_Bay) DRE# 01415544

This is not Marin real estate related, but I thought it would be nice to post this since this is the time we are making purchases and/or paying for our indulgences during the holidays.

I received two email alerts from PayPal thanking me for the purchase and asking me to go to the account to make sure the pruchases are fine.  That's last week.

I just recemved another Urgent Message from Teacher's Credit Union asking me to check on my billing irregulatiries - No, I am not a teacher and I don't belong to teacher's credit union. 

Just want you all to be more careful when receiving email such as this.  Do not click on suspicious links, and don't give out any personal ligniform unless you know the source.

Happy New Year!

Even opening e-mails that appear to be greeting cards can contain viruses. One must be careful.

Hi Sylvia,

Oh boy, thanks for the heads up, don't think I've received anything like this myself, but I'll keep my eye out.
