Scam alert

You know it’s an online scam when …

* You’ve won a lottery you didn’t enter.

* The IRS sends you unsolicited e-mail.

* You’ve inherited money from a relative you’ve never heard of.

* A stranger asks you to wire money.

* A job offer arrives from a person you’ve never met.

* Money is needed to get someone you don’t know out of prison.

* You’re offered a business deal that will make you a millionaire.

* It sounds too good to be true.
