Scams and Frauds come in many forms. This gallery showcases scams and frauds that do not fit into any of our other galleries. Includes:

• Exhibit: BOGUS INVOICES/OFFICE SUPPLIES
  The typical office supply scam involves goods or services that you routinely order: copier paper, toner and maintenance supplies, equipment maintenance contracts, or classified advertising. When fraudulent telemarketers call, they often lie to get you to pay for items you didn't order, or to get you to pay more than you agreed to.

• Exhibit: Identity Theft
  Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, Social Security number, credit card number or other identifying information, without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes
