Remember, never give anyone your personal and financial information over the phone. If you are asked for personal information, credit card information, to make payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, Pre-paid Debit Card or some other money transfer service, it is a scam. These method of payments make it easy for the scammers to take their victims' money, which will make it impossible for the victims to get back their money.
