Recovery Pitch
If you buy into any of the Prize Pitch schemes, you are likely
to be called again by someone promising to get your money
back for you. Be careful not to lose more money to this
common practice.
Here are two examples of the stories you may be given over
the phone:
A caller claiming to be a law enforcement officer tells
you that money has been seized, and that their records
indicate
that you
have lost money to the company or companies. They will
help you recover the money you have lost for a small fee.
DO NOT
BELIEVE
THEM. If money is seized, you will be advised
by a police agency but they will never request money in
advance for
any reason.
The caller may claim that they have bought out a particular
company that promised you prizes that were never sent to you.
They are an honest company, and they are eager to get those
prizes right out to you if you can pay some related costs. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM! HANG UP AND CALL PHONEBUSTERS! |
