MONEY ORDER WARNING! Counterfeiters are now inventing the names of money order companies. DO NOT CASH any money order and DO NOT DEPOSIT any money order you receive from someone you do not know or someone you met online without ordering your bank to send it for collection. |
|
DO NOT WITHDRAW ANY FUNDS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT to spend or to send to anyone without asking your bank if they have been paid. Even with a hold, your account is credited before your bank has been paid. If the draft you deposited comes back because it was stolen, forged, or is a counterfeit you will owe your bank all the money plus return charges. www.fraudaid.com/check_liability.htm |
Money has been deposited into your credit card account by you or a 3rd party and you have not withdrawn the money
|
Western Union and MoneyGram were designed to send money to friends and family, not to send money to strangers. NEVER WIRE MONEY TO A STRANGER! |
Immediately contact your credit card company using the 800 number on the
back of your card.
Give them the
amount of your last transaction (charge or payment)
Ask if any credits
have been made to your card since your last transaction.
Tell them that the
credit did not come from you and is not valid.
Explain that you
just discovered you have been the victim of an Internet scam.
Tell them to send
the money back where it came from.
Ask for a new card
number or whole new account.
If you are assigned
a new card number, monitor your account very carefully. It is
possible, though rare, for fresh unauthorized transactions using the old card
number to be recorded on your account anyway.
