Warning: Probable Scam on Health Insurance
This week I received a fax from someone advertising so-called affordable health care plans having to do with "Association. Fr.Group HealthCare"
where anyone can sign up and pre-existing conditions are ok. First of all, it was junk fax as I requested no health care information from anyone. There's a toll free
number to call to remove your fax number, but may in fact do just the opposite -
cause even more junk faxes to arrive or it could be routed to an international
number and you get charged a huge fee by your phone company for having made the
call. Not sure in this case, but best not to call the number to remove
your fax number. Upon research, it appears others have fallen for their pitch and are posting that
it is a scam. So beware. To read about it, please visit: Notes About the Fax
You can also read about Fax Back Scams here: Fax Back Scams. Lastly,
whether you have already called or not, it's a good idea to place all your phone numbers on the National Do Not Call List and update that once a year. Here's
the number: (888) 382-1222. If you have already received this type of fax and called the number to remove your fax number, call your local phone company and report
that you did in advance. Then watch your bill to see if you get charged for the call. If you do, then call the phone company back and request the charges be removed.
If you report the scam in advance of getting your bill, you stand a better chance of having the charges either removed altogether or at least reduced.
Warning: Amazon Account Scam
If you get an email from someone claiming to be with Amazon Security, asking you to go to your account for security reasons, report it
to Amazon. They never, ever ask you to give private information and they never sell your email address to anyone. If you click on the email, your address might get
added to a spam list. If you go to their phony webpage and give out private information, you could also lose money. Never ever give anyone private, financial
information because of an email request. Legitimate retailers will never ask you to do that.
