Never give or loan money to a person who approaches you on the street. People will take advantage of your trust. Some examples are:
"I need money for a hotel/bus."
"I lost my wallet; I need money for gas for my car - I'll pay you back tomorrow." Never give cash for a cheque. "I don't have a bank account in the city, can you cash my $1000 cheque in your ATM."
When you buy something make sure that you get a receipt and are charged the right amount.
  • Make sure that your card is returned promptly. Never give your credit card information or copies of your card unless you are ready to buy something. If you rent an apartment deal directly with the landlord and pay the damage deposit directly to him. Be careful if renting from another student or roommate. Pay your rent with a cheque - never cash.

If someone was unscrupulous enough to send you an email without you requesting them to do so, then that person is also unscrupulous enough to run off with your money - or worse, your credit and personal identity information! Truly professional companies NEVER send unsolicited email. So if you get unsolicited email, it's more likely than not that you'll be dealing with someone who is untrustworthy. Most email scams direct you to a website order form programmed to send your credit card data non-securely to a free hosted email account, such as Yahoo! These are credit cards scams to rob you! NEVER respond to unsolicited email!

Common Fraud Schemes Telemarketing Fraud When you send money to people you do not know personally or give personal or financial information to unknown callers, you increase your chances of becoming a victim of telemarketing fraud. Warning signs what a caller may tell you: "You must act 'now' or the offer won't be good." "You've won a 'free' gift, vacation, or prize." But you have to pay for "postage and handling" or other charges. "You must send money, give a credit card or bank account number, or have a check picked up by courier." You may hear this before you have had a chance to consider the offer carefully. "You don't need to check out the company with anyone." The callers say you do not need to speak to anyone including your family, lawyer, accountant, local Better Business Bureau, or consumer protection agency.

93. Tips For Avoiding Work-at-Home Scams, From The Internet Fraud Watch
In this classic scam, instead of getting materials to send out on behalf of a company, you get You won’t get rich, and you could be prosecuted for fraud.
http://www.fraud.org/tips/internet/workathome.htm
  • Know who you’re dealing with. The company may not be offering to employ you directly, only to sell you training and materials and to find customers for your work. Don’t believe that you can make big profits easily. Operating a home-based business is just like any other business – it requires hard work, skill, good products or services, and time to make a profit. Be cautious about emails offering work-at-home opportunities. Many unsolicited emails are fraudulent. Get all the details before you pay. A legitimate company will be happy to give you information about exactly what you will be doing and for whom. Find out if there is really a market for your work. Claims that there are customers for work such as medical billing and craft making may not be true. If the company says it has customers waiting, ask who they are and contact them to confirm. You can also ask likely customers in your area (such as doctors for medical billing services) if they actually employ people to do that work from home. Get references for other people who are doing the work.

New Year...New Fraud Scams...New Fraud Solutions
By Robert M. Bryant
January 13, 2003 Most people wake up on New Year's Day and make a resolution: lose weight, exercise more, spend more time doing the things you enjoy. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) woke up on New Year's Day 2003 with the same resolution we've had for the past 100 years: Combat fraud and theft for the benefit of our customers and the public through information analysis, forecasting, criminal investigation support, training and public awareness. It's a resolution we never tire of. Fighting fraud requires daily resolve. The criminal environment faced by the NICB, the P/C industry, law enforcement agencies and the American public is increasingly complex and sophisticated. While years ago insurance fraud and vehicle theft were primarily perpetrated by mom-and-pop crooks out to make some extra bucks, the 2003 criminal landscape is dominated by numerous, organized criminal conspiracies that stretch worldwide and use high technology to ply their trade. The small-time players still exist, but they are dwarfed by the organized groups and rings in terms of the volume and dollar values of their crimes.

U.S. TRUSTEE PROGRAM
DON'T GET "LOCKED OUT" OF YOUR HOME
BY A BANKRUPTCY SCAM OPERATOR
Are you having trouble making your home mortgage payments? Are you facing foreclosure on your home? Get all the facts before you pay someone to help you work out your mortgage problems.
"Bankruptcy foreclosure scams" target people whose home mortgages are in trouble. Scam operators advertise over the Internet and in local publications, distribute flyers, or contact people whose homes are listed in the foreclosure notices. Sometimes they direct their appeals to specific religious or ethnic groups.
These scam operators may promise to take care of your problems with your mortgage lender or to obtain refinancing for you. Sometimes they also ask you to pay your mortgage payments directly to the scam operator. They may even ask you to hand over your property deed to the operator, and then make payments to the operator in order to stay in your home.
But instead of contacting your lender or refinancing your loan, the scam operator pockets all the money you paid, and then files a bankruptcy case in your name sometimes without your knowledge.
