I confirm everything Howard said and more. If you did not originate it, do
not respond to it. If it walks, talks, or transfers and you didn't request
it first, don't respond!

   Their hands are in your pockets.  Whose hands?  The scammers.


How do they try to get there?  The Internet is the first obvious way.

They are always phishing for your personal information.  Through direct
emails, telling you that you are a winner, or that there is a package
waiting for you, or through cleverly disguised emails using a bank's
stationery or even the stationery of the Internal Revenue Service.  

The IRS will never contact you via email.  And neither will the security
department of your bank.  Do not respond to these emails.  Print them and
forward them to the real IRS and bank involved.

But what if you get a phone call at home from your bank claiming that there
is a problem with your credit card?  Don't answer the questions from that
person.  Hang up, get your credit card and call back the phone number on the
card.  Ask if there was a problem that they would have been contacting you
about.  If no, report the phone call.  If yes, resolve the problem.
