Scams/Other

Internal Revenue Service Scam

By now, you must know about this scam and how people have received phone calls from the “I.R.S.” telling them they owe back taxes or will face immediate arrest. In cases like this, the caller instructs the person to go to a store and purchase a “Green Dot Money card” or an “iTunes” card to use as payment. This past Friday, a 51-year old victim received a call at her work in Daly City from a subject claiming to be from the I.R.S. who said she owed $16,000 and would be arrested if she did not make a wire transfer immediately. The victim did exactly that the next day and made a wire transfer for $16,000—only to find out later that she was a victim of a scam. The “wire transfer” now seems to be yet one more method of collecting money, and I wanted you to be aware that the I.R.S. would not ask for payment over the telephone.

Nextdoor.com

Nextdoor.com is a free private social networking website for your neighborhood. This private network ensures that only those who live in your neighborhood can join; users must go through a verification process. Neighbors ask each other for business recommendations; help in locating missing pets; discuss relevant local government issues; or connect for other reasons. It is very easy to sign up, and I like the fact that the site verifies users by addresses, and it won’t allow people to access to a neighborhood if they don’t actually live there. Please note: the City of Daly City and/or the Police Department cannot see what residents post—we are only allowed to post information. There is also a mobile application, or you can have it sent to your e-mail. Give it a try! www.nextdoor.com
