your neighbor The variations on package delivery fraud are endless and include many unordered merchandise gimmicks When a legitimate looking delivery man asks if you will accept a package for your neighbor that has a small delivery fee to be paid you may become the victim of one of the most lucrative of all swindles The package could be filled with wadded newspapers and your neighbor will not have ordered anything from the company Unfortunately not all charity solicitations at Christmas time are legitimate Give generously to your local well known and established charities if you wish but don t be too quick to give your cash or check to mail solicitors you have never seen Some con men solicit contributions by telephone unless you know the person and the organisation or have any doubts about a charily contact the Better Business Bureau The legitimate Christmas chart deserves to be supported and the Itinerant collector deserves to be stopped Send a Card Overseas At Christmas time the
