TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE BE ON GUARD FOR SCAMS TARGETING SERVICE MEMBERS
Imagine you just got out of the military and are looking for your next career move. T e job market is tight, but you spot
a help-wanted ad for a security guard. T e post says the company is specifi cally looking for Veterans. You send in your résumé and soon receive a call from the “hiring man- ager.” He says you are a great fi t and off ers you the position. T ere’s just one catch: You need to pay $150 for training before you can start work. Your new boss tells you to either wire money or use a pre-paid debit card. You need the job, so you follow his instructions. But when you show up to your fi rst day of training, no one is there. Your new job is bogus, and you are out the $150. T is is just one of many scams highlighted by the
Better Business Bureau where service members or Veterans are the principal target. And with the holiday season upon us, unscrupulous individuals will ratchet up their eff orts to get your money. From fake subscription reminders to the resilient Web-based “inheritance notice,” there is no end to the ways scammers will try to get their hands into your wallet. Protect yourself by remembering the old adage, “if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is,” coupled with a healthy dose of common sense. For more about common fi nancial risks and preven-
tive measures you should take, read “Bucking the System” on page 16.
