The scam artists are at it again. This was on our local news channel website and even though it is alerting Tennessee, I thought I would post this to let everyone know.

Quote:
THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU IS ADVISING RESIDENTS OF DRESDEN AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS TO BEWARE OF A NEW SCAM.
THIS PARTICULAR SCAM ADVERTISES IN PAPERS AND OFFERS LOANS OR CREDIT CARDS WITH GUARANTEED APPROVAL.
ONCE APPROVED.THE VICTIM IS TOLD TO WIRE MONEY TO PAY UPFRONT TAXES AND OTHER FEES.
AFTER THE MONEY IS WIRED.OFTEN TO A CANADIAN ADDRESS. THE VICTIM RECIEVIES NOTHING IN RETURN.
CONSUMERS SAY THE NAME OF THE COMPANY IS CULLIGAN AND ASSOCIATES.THE CHICAGO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU HAS AN UNSATISFACTORY REPORT ON THIS COMPANY.
THE BUREAU ENCOURAGES CONSUMERS TO DEAL WITH REPUTABLE LOCAL LENDERS WHEN INTERESTED IN LOANS. AND TO NEVER PAY MONEY UP FRONT EXCEPT FOR FEES NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH MORTGAGE LOANS.


I'm sure I got that in the mail yesterday. It was a brochure advertising a credit card for cash you can get any where around the world and money transfers )SCAM right there) Then it said to pay upfront fees and if you are not approved (which on the brochure it said everyone is approved!!) your fee will be refunded HA HA!! I tore it up in itty bitty pieces and threw it in the recycle bin!! That's a scam if I ever saw one!
