Ladies Beware!
I just heard a report that I would like to share.
A woman “met” a guy on the internet. He said the right words to
gain her trust. He supposedly “paid” a bill for her. But, in order to
pay the bill which happened to be a credit card, he had to have her
info to get online to “pay” it. She gave him all of the account information
in order to pay the bill online. The account showed a zero balance.
The woman was so happy. However, she now cannot log on to the
account. She did not change the password and now cannot get
into the account to do so.
LADIES, THIS IS A SCAM AND A FRAUD--AND THE WOMAN IS
ALSO A PARTY TO THE FELONY CRIME!!! The guy may or may
not pay the bill with the money he scammed from other women who
fell for this online scam, but he has all the information and control of
the account. He can request a credit line increase. Now the woman
is responsible not only for the amount he supposedly “paid,” but for
the credit increase which he will, subsequently, max-out on the card.
Also, items the woman purchased on the card can be repossessed.
This is considered a 2-party scam and the woman is just as much a
partner to the felony theft as the scammer--whether the woman knew
it or not. Needless to say, the woman’s credit is destroyed, she loses
her hard-earned money and possessions, and can serve a term in prison.
Remember: Romance scammers are good at what they do….
NEVER GIVE ANYONE YOU MEET ONLINE YOUR
PERSONAL ACCOUNT INFORMATION!
