Most common type of phishing scam to gain your information.  Any variation below IS a scam.  If you receive a call or email asking for personal information do not comply.  Remember the following: 

  • You have not won the lottery in Spain, the Netherlands, Canada or anywhere else. You didn’t buy a ticket, did you?
  • A poor widow or bank manager does not need your help to move money from a dead person’s account to another place.
  • The IRS is not electronically auditing you.
  • The jury duty clerk never calls for your Social Security number.
  • Banks and credit card companies do not email you to verify your information.
