Ready for yet another variation of the Nigerian money-transfer fraud (aka “419″ or advance fee) scam? This one’s giving out government-approved ATM cards.
Since all my bills are automatically paid by an electronic clearinghouse every month, I was surprised to get a disconnection notice from AT&T — to which, of course, I took a significant amount of umbrage.
If I didn’t sweat the small stuff, we’d be much worse off financially. Every month there’s an issue with some account, whether it be an unauthorized charge or an errant late fee or interest charge.

The loan has been paid in full — actually overpaid by $1.55 — yet hundreds more dollars [...]
To Whom It May Concern:
My account number is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and you owe me a refund of $70, plus accumulated interest charges — totaling approximately $75.
