For the most part, we have been satisfied. Recent- ly, we have been getting inquiries to sell our time share. In the short term, we do not intend to sell. However, we realize that there could come a time when we no longer wish to own it. Are these offers legitimate? -- Gary, Illinois Dear Gary: Selling a time share is difficult during the best of times. In this recessionary economy, it is almost impossible. I have a feeling you've been approached by time share scam artists. Generally, these unsolicited offers to purchase go something like this: The caller has a buyer who's ready to buy right now, with no risk to you. Soon enough, you learn that the deal comes with a catch. The caller explains that you need to send thousands of dollars to complete the deal, a kind of "good faith deposit." You send money through a wire service, and you're assured that if something were to go wrong, you'd get your money back. If you fall for this unsolicited inquiry, you not only will not sell your time share but also can kiss your money goodbye. The big red flag on a time share resale is the requirement for the seller to pay an upfront fee. If you have that company's name, call your local Better Business Bureau and your state attorney general to see whether they have files on the company. Dear Mary: I recently read your answer to Thomas W. of Illinois about when you should and should not give someone your Social Security number. Great advice! Is there a way to check your Social Secu- rity number to find out whether someone else might be using it? I've heard horror stories about identity theft. I wonder whether someone could be using my number or my child's number. -- Linda M., California Dear Linda: To discover whether someone else is using your number to get credit, check your credit report often. You can get three free copies each calendar year (one each from Experian, Equifax and Tran- sUnion) at http://www.Annual- CreditReport.com. Stagger them so you are reviewing one every four months. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Order credit reports for your children three times a year, as well. Your requests should come back as "no file established" or some- thing to that effect. That's the response you want. If, however, you find an active credit report, then someone has used the child's number to open an account. Imme- diately report fraudulent activity with all three of the credit bureaus to track down the perpetrator. To discover whether someone is using your number to earn wages, make sure you check your Social Security statement each year. You should get a copy annually, about 90 days before your birthday. It is also available to you anytime online, at http://www.ssa.gov. Verify your wages. If you see income recorded that is not yours, someone has gone to work with your identity. Follow the instructions given to report and remove fraudulent information. Special twilight tour at Farm Sanctuary ORLAND – Push back your bedtime and join your fellow animal advocates for a laid-back evening at Farm Sanctuary’s Orland shelter, which is staying open late for a twilight tour. A guided tour of the shelter will allow visitors to observe sanctuary residents as they bundle up in their barns for a peaceful night’s sleep. Once the animals are dozing and the tour has ended, your tour guide will lead you back to the People Barn, where vegan snacks and refreshments will be on offer. The relaxing evening will end with a chance to socialize with other animal lovers as you listen to soothing music under the stars.
