I consider myself fairly savvy when it comes to internet and phone scams that attempt to "phish" information from me electronically. I'm kind of a "know it all" who's always giving other people advice on what not to do. Still, I had a very close call today from a scammer who came very close to getting me.
There are so many scams out there, but a new scheme has authorities raising the alarm because it's already managed to steal over a billion dollars from innocent victims.
Creative, cunning cons looking to steal your money and/or personal information have evolved their tactics and are now taking a unique approach in trying to dupe you.
