There are many telephone scams out there designed to steal your money. I am not just talking about dishonest telemarketers selling shoddy merchandise. The caller may actually be trying to steal your identity or charge up your credit cards. Many will impersonate well-known companies or organizations. In the telephone scam I received, they were actually impersonating the Federal Bureau of Investigation! These are professional telephone scammers who do this for a living. Do not give out your personal, banking or credit card information to anyone who calls. It's too bad that it has to be this way, but better safe than sorry. If a telemarketer calls just say, "No thank you," and hang up the phone. Do not even give them a chance to respond, because they will stay on the phone as long as you do.
