NEW SCAM! BEWARE—THIS ONE IS PRETTY SLICK! Please forward to friends!

This is very clever. I would probably fall for it if not warned. Give this wide distribution. This scam is actually very clever. Just when you thought you'd heard it all. Be very careful out there! Beware of people bearing gifts!

The following is a recounting of the incident from the victim:

Wednesday a week ago, I had a phone call from someone saying that he was from some outfit called: "Express Couriers," (The name could be any courier company). He asked if I was going to be home because there was a package for me that required a signature.

The caller said that the delivery would arrive at my home in roughly an hour. Sure enough, about an hour later, a uniformed delivery man turned up with a beautiful basket of flowers and a bottle of wine. I was very surprised since there was no special occasion or holiday, and I certainly didn't expect anything like it. Intrigued, I inquired as to who the sender was.

The courier replied, "I don't know, I'm only delivering the package."

Apparently, a greeting card was being sent separately. (The card has never arrived!) There was also a consignment note with the gift.

He then went on to explain that because the gift contained alcohol, there was a $3.50 "delivery/ verification charge," providing proof that he had actually delivered the package to an adult (of legal drinking age), and not just left it on the doorstep where it could be stolen or taken by anyone, especially a minor.

This sounded logical and I offered to pay him cash. He then said that the delivery company required payment to be by credit or debit card only, so that everything is properly accounted for, and this would help in keeping a legal record of the transaction.

He added, "Couriers don't carry cash to avoid loss or likely targets for robbery."

My husband, who by this time was standing beside me, pulled out his credit card, and the "delivery man," asked him to swipe the card on a small mobile card machine with a small screen and keypad. Frank, my husband, was asked to enter his PIN number and a receipt was printed out. He was given a copy of the transaction.

The guy said everything was in order, and wished us good day.

To our horrible surprise, between Thursday and the following Monday, $4,000 had been charged/withdrawn from our credit/debit account at various ATM machines.

Apparently the "mobile credit card machine," which the deliveryman carried now had all the info necessary to create a "dummy" card with all our card details including the PIN number.

Upon finding out about the illegal transactions on our card, we immediately notified the bank which issued us a new card, and our credit/debit account was closed.

We also personally went to the police, where it was confirmed that it is definitely a scam because several households had been similarly hit.

WARNING: Be wary of accepting any "surprise gift or package," which you neither expected nor personally ordered, especially if it involves any kind of payment as a condition of receiving the gift or package. Also, never accept anything If you do not personally know or there is no proper identification of who the sender is.

Above all, the only time you should give out any personal credit/debit card information is when you yourself initiated the purchase or transaction!

PLEASE, pass this on, it may just prevent someone else from being swindled

If You Spot a Rubber Band on Your Front Door Handle, DON'T TOUCH IT, Here's The SICK Thing It Means ⋆ Freedom Daily ALERT! This could happen to your family!

Police are warning cellphone users of a terrifying new scam, multiple news agencies report. The scam is brilliantly simple: all it consists of is a scammer calling from an unfamiliar number (but often one with a familiar area code) and asking, "Can you hear me?" It seems like a simple question, and most people would just answer, "Yes." In this case, however, the hacker records you saying "Yes" and then uses the response to authorize credit card or bill charges.
"You say 'yes,' it gets recorded and they say that you have agreed to something," Susan Grant, director of consumer protection for the Consumer Federation of America, told CBS News. "I know that people think it's impolite to hang up, but it's a good strategy."

While "Can you hear me?" seems to be the most popular question, scammers are using other questions that would prompt a "Yes" response, like "Are you the homeowner?" and "Do you pay the bills."

Fox News provided the following tips to avoid this scam:

Do not answer the phone from numbers you do not recognize.
Do not give out personal information.
Do not confirm your number over the phone.
Do not answer questions over the phone.

Couple dies after keyless car mistakenly left on in garage, officials say Carbon monoxide poisoning is presumed cause of death.

What would you do if the power went out across the country and didn’t come back on? For the first day, you might actually enjoy the downtime. Many of us would be unable to do business without lights, computers, and other electrical equipment. The silence might just be a welcomed mini-vacation. But then hunger, thirst, and panic would start to set in.

If the blackout stretched past an afternoon, things would start to get inconvenient. We would start to worry about the food in the refrigerator, if we’d be able to fill up gas tanks, how are we going to be able to operate in the dark with minimal light and not being able to withdraw cash or use ATMs. After a few days of a country-wide blackout, for some, things would get dire. Would you and your family be able to comfortably survive? Have you proactively prepared?

You may be surprised by how quickly our society could unravel when it becomes powerless. Some would fare better than others, but it would completely depend on their level of preparation and how they handled the crisis. Would you be prepared? In the past you have seen the grocery stores emptied with-in hours, do you have adequate food for you and your family? Do you have extra heating sources, as well as backup lighting supplies?

The American Red Cross, which knows a great deal about handling a multitude of disasters, has some important suggestions. If the power looks like it is not going to pop back on soon, the first thing you’ll want to consider is protecting your food and water supplies. Here are some things The Red Cross suggests you do:

Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. First use perishable food from the refrigerator. An unopened refrigerator will keep foods cold for about 4 hours.

Then use food from the freezer. A full freezer will keep the temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) if the door remains closed.

Use your non-perishable foods and staples after using food from the refrigerator and freezer.

If it looks like the power outage will continue beyond a day, prepare a cooler with ice for your freezer items.

Keep food in a dry, cool spot and keep it covered at all times.

Make sure to have a back up lighting source.
