For all those that have had brushes with Phishing, Vishing or other scam attempts,

And

For any other person interested in protecting your financial and identity data

EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL ALREADY....

Here'* a good article detailing some of the latest and more efficient methods being used today to get your valuable info. Check out a few of the links in the article for more good stuff.

Your phone may be under attack - MSN Money

One of the things I hate about being unemployed is my contact information has gotten passed to a lot of people. So, as much as I hate to, I do not answer my phone. If it'* a job offer, I just have to hope they want me bad enough to leave a message.

But, now that I "said that out loud", it sounds stupid. I know my bank would never call me asking for that kind of info. They would send a letter asking me to call them. But, I'm still missing all the telemarketers than sxcan the resume sites for customers....

I know what you mean.

When I was looking for a job a while back and posted my resume and info on all the better sites, I was flooded by crap and scam "offers".

I didn't post this to scare anyone or make anyone paranoid, just to educate us all a bit further and caution about being careful with your personal information.

No wonder when I call you, you don't ever answer.

Maybe you should leave a message....

I think if anyone actually got a hold of any of my information, they would turn tail and run. They can have all my bills, and I sure as hell don't have any money.

And telemarketer calls are usually very quick: "No, I don't have any credit cards. No, I don't have a checking/savings account."

The sad thing is, it'* true...

MOS....I dunno about you, because I have left you messages before lol....

This is what you should do with Telemarketers.....
