Avoiding Scams: New Video and Help from the FTC
By
Today’s troubled economic waters are infested with a school of hungry sharks – con artists who promise people a lifeline through jobs, recession-proof income, and access to free government grant money. They’re bleeding money from individuals…and from the economy as a whole.
That’s why the Federal Trade Commission and its partners are moving aggressively through enforcement and education. There’s more about today’s announcement of a major enforcement action here: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/07/shortchange.shtm .
On the education front, the nation’s consumer protection agency has produced a new video to help people learn how to spot a scam. The video is posted at: www.ftc.gov. It features a former telemarketer of fraudulent business opportunities who explains exactly how he got people to part with their money. It also features two of his victims, as well, describing how they got caught.
The video is posted at www.ftc.gov, and more resources about helping people avoid business opportunity scams are at www.ftc.gov/bizopp .
CWAHM.com is a dream that God has truly brought to life. I began CWAHM.com in 2000 while learning HTML. I thought it would be a fun hobby and a way to compile all the information I was seeking on working at home. I am a mom of 2 (1 boy, 1 girl), a wife and I do work from home. I accepted Christ as my savior at the age of seven as a Sparky in my church’s AWANA club. I have a Bachelor’s degree from Grace University in Human Development and Family Studies/Bible. I love working from home and I pray that CWAHM will be a blessing in your life as it has been in mine.
