Don't be scammed by ripoffs in this Economy

As people are becoming more and more frustrated in this Economic "slump"and emotions run wild in an to attempt to keep households together, more and more scam artists are being born. These Scams are preying on the fact that hittng a nerve with key words like Money, Love, Riches, Fortune, Fame. These are all trigger words to get you to buy into something that is no more than smoking mirrors. Mail-outs promising hundreds of thousands of dollars for a $20.00 bill are bogus. If 10,000 people across the Nation fall for this scheme they have made $200.000.00 dollars.
You see it everyday on the web and in your mail boxes if you have ever opened one e-mail from one of these solitations. "If you will send Not $195.00, Not $129.95, Not $79.95 but "only" $19.95 we will throw in 3 Bonus gifts for free!" These solicitors are auto mailing you with every "Trigger" word they can stuff into a quick e-mail response, and for another $39.95 they will teach you how to do the same to others. These are all ways to trigger your Emotions and send the first of what will be many, many more lucrative offers to make you rich quick. These are not the quick answers for anyone to get rich except for those you are sending $19.99 to finance there houses and cars.

I've said it once and will say it again...Do not deal with these Loan Shark's!

Payday & Title Loans
Consumers who borrow money from so-called "payday lenders" end up paying $4.2 billion in excessive fees, the Center for Responsible Lending estimates.

The group's study finds that across the nation payday borrowers are paying more in interest, at annual rates of 400 percent, than the amount of the loan they originally borrowed. "Americans who think they're getting a two-week loan and end up trapped in debt," the report says.

This is an understatement, judging by the complaints we have received and those filed with Consumer Affair's, The Attorney general's office and the BBB!
