"oftentimes they'll say that you'll get a gift card or airline ticket for completing this survey, so at the end of the survey the

your credit card information this will allow us to defer the taxes for the prize." as a rule of thumb for any prize, sweepstakes or lottery - you will never be asked to pay a fee or taxes to claim your prize. if you are asked to do so - it's a scam. the third election scam to be aware of has to do with voter registration. callers claim you need to update information or it's no longer valid. this can lead to identity theft. information to someone you don't know. now -- phone scams aren't just limited to election season. so keep this advice in mind anytime you get calls like these. if you want to know the common scams in your area or report a scam -- you can do so with the better business bureau scam tracker. we've got a link to that at fox6now.com brad and stephanie - back to you. do you have a consumer issue or investigation idea? give jenna a call!! the number is on you screen or you can file a complaint on the contact
