A clearinghouse scam involves a victim receiving: a. a letter that claims he or she has inherited a significant amount of money. b. mail from a known party who claims to have access to large sums of money or assets. c. a letter that falsely claims the writer represents a foreign bank. d. an email containing their Social Security number and/or credit information.

c. a letter that falsely claims the writer represents a foreign bank.

Explanation:

A clearing house is a financial institution that should be created for exchanging the payments, securities, or transactions related to derivates. It stands between the two clearing firms. Its motive is to decrease the member risk that failed to honor the trade settlement liabilities

So the clearing house scam includes the victim that collect the letter in which there is false claims where the writer shows the foreign bank

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
