Potential victims contacted by the TVCC are warned about the
risks associated with sending money to persons they don't know
personally, and giving personal or financial information to unknown
callers. Potential victims are advised of fraud warning signs,
such as pressured solicitations to wire money, or of offers to
have a courier service pick up a check or money order directly
from the potential victim's house. Potential victims are urged
to protect themselves by obtaining re-contact information from
solicitors, and requesting printed materials before sending money.
Finally, potential victims are offered a fraud prevention kit
which is sent to them by the TVCC free of charge.
