I remember a couple years ago I kept getting calls from a guy that said I won the lottery, I think it was publishers clearing house to be exact, and that he had a cheque for me in the amount of $35 000 and all I had to do was meet him at the border, he was in a white van and give him a cheque for $3500 to cover the insurance, lol. Since I have never played the clearing house lottery, I had a strong feeling that this was a scam, well that and meeting him at the border with a cheque to get my cheque lol. So I offered to meet him at my local police station and suddenly the calls stopped coming, weird huh?

People will constantly try to scam other people out of their hard earned money, the worst ones, in my opinion anyways, are the ones that prey on the elderly people with some of the phone scams they pull
