Avoid scams
All spam emails/unsolicited phone calls/letters and faxes are
scams.
As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money
gram = Scam.
If you sell stuff online.. Accept Cash or paypal only.
If you buy stuff online.. Use Paypal only.
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! NEVER(ever) give out your personal
information to strangers online or offline! Do not click on a link embedded within any potentially suspicious email. Always be on
guard.

Security Alert- Protect your PC by updated spyware and updated virus protection and firewall. Change your passwords on a regular basis, and use passwords that use at least 8 characters that mix numbers and both lower and upper case letters (harder to hack).
