SCAM ALERT



DON'T SAY YES

Cons have a new trick to cheat their victims - Be Aware -

You get a call from what you think is a vendor you know, and during the call you are asked what seems to be a very innocent question, such as, 'can you hear me', or 'do you have a trusted paper source'?

Yes this actually has happened to a member

BE WARNED -Should you answer this question 'Yes', your answer may be recorded and used to make false pu rchases, or to create invoices due from your company for services not provided..


QUICK SOLUTIONS

  • If you have caller ID, use it-
  • If the number is not recognized, or it comes up private - take the caller's name and number stating you will call them back.
  • If the number is displayed without a name, Google it to verify it is from a trusted party
  • When in doubt -Don't - if the call seems fishy then assume the smell will not improve -hang up
  • Do Not answer your business phone by saying 'Yes' -remember that is all this Conster needs to profit off of you

PICB will stay vigilant to keep you aware -
