Show he liunuihoii Valley News December Bankers Association LJt RuikGud Launches War On Frauds The Utah Bankers Association launched its annual ’ campaign today with a series of warnings on various frauds now' prevalent in Utah As always the main target of bunco artists are the elderly and the unwary Currently plaguing law enforcement agencies throughout the state is a rash of buncos involving the use of stolen credit cards Not commonly known is the fact that these are crimes generally committed by operators sophisticated within a period after a credit card leaves the possession of its rightful owner More credit cards are stolen than lost the In some instances seeming oversight of a clerk to return a credit card after a transaction could be the result of a healthy black market in stolen cards Since the act could be an honest error it is difficult to assess The owner’s best protection is to keep purse or wallet in hand until the card and sales receipt slip are returned and to avoid distraction of Simplest method recording cards and numbers is to have them photocopied Those who do not have access to an office copier may find them at libraries and any t number of outlets The recent energy shortage and resultant demand for home insulation has created another area of fraud abuse Primarily dealing in loose insulation applied by blowers skilled bunco artists will employ a number of different methods of cheating unwary homeowners Chief among these is the use of inferior types of insulation some of which may even be combustible Some will apply approved insulation to attics under extremely high pressure so that the material appears to be thick but affords very little insulation because In it is highly fluffed un w'alls filling scrupulous operators may only fill every second or third space between studs Concerned legitimate insulation contractors recommend that the job be based on the number of bags of insulation to be used and that the homeowner is best protected by dealing with well established local firms and being ex tremely wary of any deal that “sounds too good to be true ” Bunco artists may even offer references who are in fact accomplices In those areas served by the Mountain Fuel Supply Company homeowners can receive guidance in both in- sulation requirements and a list of approved contractors from which to choose Some bunco artists may attempt to intimidate their victims by rough talk or manner and even threats particularly with the elderly Should such an event occur the homeowner is advised to find some method of identifying the person or vehicle and to immediately call the nearest law enforcement agency While many services require an advance payment it is one of the most abused frauds in existence Recent repor ts show an increase in such buncos ranging from schemes to book and song publishing offers Small businessmen have been victimized by operators offering advantageous loans in exchange for a small advance fee only to vanish along with the money In any event a request for pavment in advance should be carefully reviewed especially when solicited by an unknown person or business any doubt exists a check with bank ofor law enforcement will at least ficers establish legitimacy of the request citizens Above all must understand that the deal that's too good to turn down is cause for suspicion An effort to lorce immediate action is reason for doubt and if doubt exists a call to inbank or savings t stitution or law agency could prevent a great deal of grief New Arrivals Mr and Mrs Michael Barker ot Mayfield
