Are you struggling to keep up with all the new scams on the market and not sure what to do? A recent article in Consumerist helps you out by explaining how to recognize a fake discount code as well as how to avoid one.
What is the 310 Drip Scam?
The 310 Drip Scam is a scam that involves fake calls from representatives from financial institutions, asking for personal information such as account numbers and passwords. The caller often asks for the person to speak in a low voice so that their conversation cannot be heard by others in the room. The scammer then will ask for personal information such as Social Security numbers and PINs, before threats are made regarding lawsuits or deportation. In order to avoid being scammed, be sure to never give out your personal information without first verifying who is calling and why they are contacting you.
How does the 310 Drip Work?
The 310 drip works by slowly releasing a small amount of water over a period of time. This gradual release is designed to help relieve stress and tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw. The water also helps to cleanse the skin and reduce inflammation.
How to avoid being scammed by a Drip
Drip scams are a type of scam in which criminals pose as legitimate businessmen or professionals and try to get you to invest in their business ventures. They may offer high returns on investments, tell you that you need to pay them quickly in order to avoid legal action, or even ask for personal information such as your bank account numbers or Social Security number.
To avoid being scammed by a drip scam, be suspicious of any business that asks for your personal information without providing clear evidence of its legitimacy. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. And remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Deceptive Schemes That Claim to be Free
Drip scams are a type of scam where thieves use deceptive methods to lure people into giving them personal information. They may offer a free trial or giveaway, ask for personal information such as credit card numbers, or request money to help with a debt. If you get a call or email from someone claiming to be from a company or government agency, be suspicious and don’t give away any personal information. Report the scam to your local police department and/or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
