Pay Pal...fraud alert! E-mail scam!




 




Yesterday, unknown parties tried to scam me through my e-mail account at yahoo, under the guise of a so-called "Pay Pal" alert.

The communication alleged that my Pay Pal account was in "limited" status - for some inexplicable reason - and encouraged me to upgrade by providing personal data (including my password) and credit card information.

I immediately became suspicious, so I surfed over to the Pay Pal web site to review my account.

Uh-huh!

As usual, my account was in good stead, without restriction!

Obviously, con artists on the Internet are now focusing on Pay Pal (and its vulnerabilities), so watch out!

Gold's Gym...free pass scam! Consumer alert...










Local gyms are hip to the fact that during the Yuletide season, folks are going to be partying-hearty, and sampling the finer treats that life has to offer around this time each year.

And, that means, stuffing their mouths with all manner of delectable calorie-laden goodies laced with wicked trans fats.

Needless to say, by the end of December - as the New Year is about to be rung in - a few body-conscious dudes & dudettes are going to be thumbing through the yellow pages in search of a gym to join (with the ultimate aim of shedding the extra deadweight come-hell or high-water).

Personally, I don't like to be embarrassed when I take off my clothes, so that is a good enough incentive for me to hit the treadmill, pronto!

Unfortunately, disreputable gyms - keen on fleecing your wallet - will be flogging a handful of clever promotions on the premise that they are offering up discounted membership  deals that will meet your slimming & trimming needs.

Wrong!

For instance, Gold's Gym - once renowed for being a work-out palace that catered exclusively to body-builders - has entered the mainstream with all-manner of scams that are appealing on the surface.

However, the dishonest club owners have simply manipulated the specifics to deceitfully get unsuspecting "suckers" in the door - at which point - the free week or two offered up initially magically vanishes into thin air.

"Victims" of high-pressure sales tactics will find themselves signing on the dotted line for monthly fees - that are not only through the roof, but also, a good deal pricier than that of the competition.

I say, avoid Gold's scam artists, ike the plague.

24 Hour Fitness and Crunch - and a handful of other full-service gyms in the neighborhood - are better bets and run by honest management who won't try to rip 'ya off.

Cheers!
