Protect Yourself from Fraud

Remember the golden rule, if it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.  Scammers are always clever, so stay on your guard.  If someone wishes to give you free money by check and then asks you to wire some of the money back,  BEWARE!  Also be extremely wary of callers who attempt to capture your financial information over the phone.
