Scam of the Month
The below scam email came from
one of our readers. Anybody have an
Apple account? This one even came
with the Apple logo, so it would make
sense to (at first) think it’s legit.
But a careful look as to who sent
it gives it away. And a sure sign that
it was a scam was realized by our
reader since she did not have an Apple
account.
We know scammers need to only
deceive one (out of the millions) but
we ask again: Can any ONE be that stupid? Remember: Think, think,
think before you click! If in doubt, don’t.

No BS Tip of the Month
Did you know that according to the United States Senate Special
Committee on Aging, seniors lost nearly 3 billion dollars a year to con
artists perpetrating scams?
The scams are everywhere – from Telemarketing to Medicare and
Health Insurance cons. But do you know that The Vegas Voice has
perfected a 100% effective way to make sure you are never a victim of
a telephone scam?
And it’s so simple, we couldn’t believe that someone has not
copyrighted it.
When you get that phone call and you have no idea who that
person is – hang up the phone, hang up the phone and
HANG UP THE PHONE!
That’s all you have to do. And don’t worry if the call is legit and you
did not realize the caller was you grandson or Aunt Agnes. Believe me,
they will call you back.
