Consumer Fraud Alert

Don’t send money:

• to a stranger – only send money to people you know personally!
• to pay for an online purchase
• to someone claiming to be a relative in a crisis or an emergency you have not confirmed
• for a deposit or payment on a rental property
• for anti-virus protection
• for a mystery shopping assignment
• to pay for rent
• for a credit card loan fee
• to claim lottery prize winnings
• to resolve an immigration matter
• to pay for something in response to a telemarketing call. Telemarketers cannot sell you anything and take payment by money transfer from anyone in the US. This is illegal activity!

✓ Never share the transaction reference number or recipient details to anyone other than the intended recipient!

✓ If you have reason to believe you are the victim of a scam, DO NOT PROCEED WITH THIS TRANSFER, and immediately contact Ria's anti-fraud department. Call 1-877-443-1399 or send an email to FraudPrevention@riafinancial.com.

✓ Remember that when you send money the recipient will receive it quickly. Once the money is paid out, Ria may not be able to give you a refund, even if you are a victim of fraud.
