I recently sat down with Emmy award winner Adele Arakawa, co-anchor of the 5 & 10PM news at 9News. She is and was the consummate journalist.

They may claim to work for a company you trust, or they may send mail or place ads to convince you to call them. If you get a call from someone you don’t know who is trying to sell you something you hadn’t planned to buy, say “No thanks.” And, if they pressure you about giving up personal information — like your credit card or Social Security number — it’s likely a scam. Hang up and report it to the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint.
