Fake Amazon Email Scam

With Christmas around the corner, many consumers are taking to shopping online to get the perfect gifts for their friends and family members. This means a lot of people will be using Amazon, and scammers know this. They are taking advantage of this increase in shopping to hopefully catch people off guard.

All Amazon shoppers need to be wary of a new email scam that is currently going around. The email is designed to look like it is an official email from Amazon Customer Services. The email claims that there was a problem with the person’s last order, and that it cannot be shipped until the person validates their information. The email offers a link that when clicked takes the person to a site that resembles Amazon, but is not the official site. If a person puts there info into this site, they give it to the scammers.

Amazon has issued a warning about this, as well as advice on how to avoid these kinds of scams in the future. If you receive an email supposedly from Amazon and it wants any of the following, it is probably a scam.

• Something went wrong, or a confirmation about an order you didn’t place.
• Requests for your username and password.
• Requests to update payment information.
• Links to websites that are similar to Amazon, but are not actually Amazon.
• Requests or attachments to install software.
• Typos and grammatical errors.
• An email address that doesn’t end with “@amazon.com”

If you see any of this in an email, it is most likely a scam. However, if you feel that you need to check your account on Amazon to be sure, go to Amazon on your own and access your account from there. Never use links in suspicious emails.

Lastly, to be sure that you are, in fact, on the official Amazon site, check the URL. All websites that deal with financial information have a URL that starts with https, not http. If there is no s, then you are not on Amazon.

Amazon, as well as every other online retailer, will not require their customers to provide information over email. They definitely will not ask for social security numbers for verification either. Learn to recognize scams, and you will be a lot safer when you shop online.

Things to Know When Traveling this Season

It’s that magical time a year again when families get together to celebrate the holidays. Modern transportation has made getting together for family traditions easier. However, traveling can still be tricky for some. Navigating airports, roadways, and bus/train stations can be overwhelming. Here are a few tips and tricks to make traveling this season easier.

Buy transportation tickets as early as possible. Whether you plan on traveling by bus, plane, or train, the later you wait to buy your ticket, the more in demand that seat becomes. With a higher demand the prices are likely to sky rocket.

Book your plane tickets strategically. According to Fare Compare, the best day to buy a plane ticket is Tuesday around 3 p.m. eastern time. This is when airlines release their competitive prices for seats. However Time.com released an article, Actually, Tuesday Isn’t the Cheapest Day to Buy Plane Tickets, and suggests that buying a ticket on Tuesday doesn’t always guarantee the best price. However, Time highly recommends that people avoid purchasing tickets on Sunday, and suggests that Thursday is another great day to purchase tickets. Fare Compare also recommends traveling mid-week for cheaper seats. This is because traveling during the week is less popular for families who wish to take advantage of the weekend and miss as little school or work as possible.

Schedule your trip so you arrive early. Many people forget that everyone else is trying to go home for the holidays too. With unpredictable weather and traffic, it is common to experience delays in your travel plans, so be prepared!

Hand sanitizer will save you this holiday season. It can help protect you from unwanted germs, this is the season for colds and flus after all. No one wants to be missing out on all the grand festivities.

Dress comfortably while traveling this season. Traveling is already stressful enough, at least do it in comfort. If you’re flying, or driving long distance, being comfortable can help take the edge off.

Nobody Likes Sexual Harassment

Sadly everyone has experienced some form of harassment at some point in their live. There are several forms of harassment out there, and none of them are very pleasant. One of the worst kinds of harassment, is sexual harassment.

For those unaware, sexual harassment is bullying of a sexual nature, or inappropriate sexual advances with the promise of rewards in the workplace. Sexual harassment isn’t just bad because it is harassment, it is also illegal. It is illegal to harass any person based on their sex.

When it comes to harassment at work, employers are supposed to provide safe working environment for their employees. This does not simply mean a physically safe environment. A safe work environment also means protecting employees from all types of harassment, especially sexual harassment.

Nobody wants to face any sort of harassment, especially in a place where they have to be, such as work. Sexual harassment can so many different things, from being mocked for the person’s gender, or a person not getting a promotion due to their lack of desire to sleep with the employer.

If a person ever feels like they are feeling sexually harassed, they need to talk to their boss or someone in human resources. Employers are legally obligated to create safe work environment for their employees. Failing to do so can get them into serious legal trouble.

Do You Need a Warrant Check?

It may sound strange, but sometimes it can be hard to find out that a person has a warrant out for their arrest. This kind of thing is far more common than people realize. A warrant for a person’s arrest can be issued for any number of reason, and unfortunately, that does not mean the person knows about it. After all, it is not like the police call the person up to let them know about their warrant. If the police could inform people of their warrant, they would just arrest the person.

Sometimes people suspect that their might be a warrant out for their arrest, but they have no idea how they can find out for sure. That is where Bail Bonds in Hesperia comes in. We perform free warrant checks for all of our clients. All we need is the name of the person who the warrant would be for, his or her birthday, and the county where the warrant would have been issued.

With that info, we should be able to check and see if there is indeed a warrant out for that person’s arrest. Unfortunately, there are some California counties that do not allow third parties to check for warrants for their clients.

We are always there for our clients, and we will not abandon them like our competitors will. Our clients can count on us to be there for them no matter what. If you think that there may be a warrant out for your arrest, contact Bail Bonds in Hesperia for a free warrant check.

Road Trip Checklist

Summer is the perfect time to take a road trip with friends. It is vacation season and the weather is perfect for you to drive your convertible with the wind blowing in your hair. Whether you have a destination in mind or you prefer to just drive, make sure you have packed your essentials such as sunglasses, sunblock, swim suits, and have your driving playlist ready. Before you get on the road, make sure to do a safety check of your vehicle.

• Check that all exterior lights of the car work properly: head lights, tail lights, brake lights, signal lights, and high beams.
• Make sure your horn is working, and loud for others to hear.
• All passengers need to be wearing a seat-belt. Make sure those function properly.
• Hopefully it will not rain, but in case it does, you will want your windshield wipers working.
• Take a look at your tires. Do they need air? Are the treads good to withstand your road trip? Take a spare tire with you as well.
• Open up the hood of your car and fill up the fluids.
• Get your brakes checked and make sure they are good to go.

By making sure your car is road trip-ready, you are taking extra precautions to avoid accidents. In addition, you could also be saving yourself from being pulled over and ticketed. A few extra minutes to look over your car can save you thousands of dollars, if you really think about it.

If you think you will be driving across state borders, keep in mind that driving rules might not be the same. For example, you might not be allowed to make a right on a red light or you might not be allowed to pump your own gas at a gas station and instead, a store clerk is supposed to do this for you. Overall, drive with safety in mind, as you would anywhere, because getting ticketed, pulled over, into an accident, or arrested is a cost no one wants to worry about having to deal with, especially out-of-state.
