The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has become aware of a long distance phone scam that may lead consumers to inadvertently incur high charges on their phone bills. For further information on this scam please refer to the following link http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/809.html.

Safe Tip

When on the phone, do not admit to a stranger that you are alone. Also, instruct your children, when alone, to say that Mom or Dad is busy and to ask the caller to leave a message or call back.
