Useful Tips:
AARP warns of a new fraud scheme: Someone calls your cell-phone, pretending to be from a government agency a megaretailer like Amazon and Costco, or a major bank. What they really want is money or sensitive data. Some of the scammers leave a fake message so you’ll respond that it’s a wrong number; some try to lure you with big money or scare you. What should you do to prevent this? For more information, https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-2021/texts-smartphone.html?
