• •  Do not give a caller any personal information, including banking or Social Security numbers.  
• •  If the call is from a debt collector, ask the caller to provide proof of the debt by mail. If the caller refuses, hang up.
• •  Never transfer money to a stranger by wire transfers such as Western Union or MoneyGram or by using preloaded money cards such as Green Dot MoneyPaks. Such payments can be virtually impossible to trace.  Only send money to people you actually know and for reasons you are completely sure are legitimate.  If you are asked to keep the transfer a secret for any reason, don't send it!   
• •  If a caller threatens you in any way, contact police.
• •  If you are unsure about whether a call is legitimate, contact BBB at 800-649-6814 or 800-856-2417(KS only), the police or your Attorney General's Office.
