Also a little common sense goes a long way. I don't do business with establishments/people I know nothing about.

A friend of mine owns restaurant/diner. He has his gf open for him morning's. Some guy with Indian accent called restaurant one morning claiming to work for power company stating that they were behind on electric bill and person was coming to cut power unless immediate payment was taken. She went through paperwork and informed guy bill was payed prior to due date. He then proceeded to ask to verify method of payment...stating payment isn't seen in system.

Luckily she was smart enough to smell rat. Many of these scam artists are operating from overseas.

Also anyone whom is dumb enough to fall for that Prince of Persia pitch deserves to part with their money in my opinion.
