I think this subject has been covered before but I just want to put it out there again.

If anyone has older friends and relatives do them a favor and stress how convincing scams are that can and do lead to identity theft as well as straight up theft of money.

I had an older gentleman come in yesterday with a check he was ready to send to one of these a$$holes for several thousand dollars. The reason was that he had "won" money and they needed the check for processing fees. The things that they DID get from him though were his SSN, Bank account numbers, and other info.

These scammers prey on ignorance and tend to sound VERY convincing.
