Security Tip Saturday

Summer is here. Well, officially, it isn't, but you know what I mean.  Anyhoo, summer is here and with it, are more scammers.  We can't be too careful when it comes to these shysters.  

First of all, be aware when you are working out in your yard - the paving and roofing scammers are out in full force right now, according to the BBB.  They usually approach people that they see outside.  Be sure to firmly tell them "thanks but no thanks" if they offer to repave your drive, fix cracks in your drive, or replace shingles on your roof.  

Second, be aware of the phone scammers.  They, too, are out in full force right now.  Currently, the BBB says that shysters posing as IRS employees and Humana insurance employees are calling people, trying to scam them out of money.  The IRS and big insurance companies like Humana will never call you and ask for money - they always contact you by letter. 

So as always, stay safe.
