Watch Out For These Scam Phone Numbers

Beware of these phone numbers on your caller ID. They're likely coming from scammers. Please add more scam numbers to the list!

You might think the state and federal do-not-call lists would have cut down on the number of annoying, unwanted phone calls you receive. Instead, scams are worse than ever. Why?

For one thing, scammers don’t follow the do-not-call rules. In fact, if you respond to a sales call with anything other than a hangup, you could make things worse for yourself.…

When you buy a new home, you might ask the seller to pony up for a home warranty. Here's how to choose one to avoid disappointment down the road.

This is a guest post by Jonathan Peterson.
