I arrived early to see my client today. I bought a coffe and a donut and I sat down. Next to me there were travel magazines, shape magazine and Readers Digest. I picked up Reader Digest. As I read the cover, the "New ways to scam people" pop out like a neon sign. You won't believe what I read. There was a list of at least 10 ways that people can scam you. 1. Paying off your debt. Companies that promise to help you get out of debt, and you agreed to give them a certain amount of money a month can be a scam. 2. The electricity guy. If someone comes and knocks at your door and they promised you that they can lower your electricity bill (they say that they are from "EDISON:) and they make you sign some papers, BEWARE. They will transfer you to a totally different company and your bill will be as high as the sky. 3. Wiring money to people that are in a different country. This includes the following: You will be their rep and you will receive payments, take 10% off and wire the rest. You won a huge price and you need to pay in order for you to claim it. Someone got deseased and the bank needs you to collect the money (they are not even your family members) Someone is renting you an apartment (the price is fabulous $800.00 for 3 bedrooms here in Los Angeles....woooow) they are in the U.K, Nigeria etc. they have the key and you need to wire them, first month and deposit so you can receive the keys. You are selling something trough craigslist and someone sends you a check with more money than what you are selling your item, beware. They will tell you that it was a mistake and instead of returning the check, they will ask you to cash it and wire the money somewhere else. People the economy is bad and is hunting season. Protect your money and your self from these horrible people. If you have others that I might had left out, please feel free to add them.
