GOVERNMENT ORDERS - SCAM

Seems like the fraudsters are out in full force again.  Be careful of handing out your personal details to anyone.  Identity fraud seems to be the order of the day.

Government Orders Scam


This message was received from one of our franchisees.
"There is currently a scam taking place where you may receive a Government Order with all your details thereon. It appears all above-board, BUT please then ensure that you verify the order first before delivering any stock. This can be done by phoning the number on the order from your cellphone. It is important that you phone from your cellphone as the number is diverted by the scam artists to another cellphone number, which you will then be able to see. If still unsure contact your nearest Government Office to verify all the details on the order, by checking in your local telephone directory. It appears that this scam tends to occur on a Friday."
