How to protect yourself from scam

There's a good article over at ScamBusters.org entitled "The 10 Most Important Things You Can Do Now To Avoid Getting Scammed". Its a helpful report and it includes several tips that we've been giving to our members over the last 5 years.  They include:

- If possible, always pay by credit card rather than by check or money order.

- Be skeptical

- NEVER purchase from a bulk unsolicited email you receive

- Be careful while shopping at online-auction sites

 And we would add to this list:

- View your credit-report often and quickly report unauthorized activity

- Big promises of wealth are often followed by bold requests for personal information.  Be careful online

- If it seems to good to be true, it probably is
