Rent 2 Own-Biggest Scam Ever
Since the majority of Americans have huge debt, this makes it very difficult for them to purchase expensive merchandise on cash or credit. Many cannot obtain credit or financing and they are turned away. As a result, they become easy targets and victims for so called "rent-2-own" companies.
Companies operating on a rent-2-own basis enter into a contract with consumers. They lease new and simple items to consumers on monthly or weekly terms until contract terms are met. Only after the contract is fulfilled consumers become owners of merchandise because unlike all other sales contract these rent2own companies legally own all rented items until final payments are made.

Keeping the Elderly Safe
I read an article about an elderly woman who was taken for a ride of nearly $200,000 which she spent on "taxes and insurance " to claim a sweepstakes prize she will never get. She was scammed into sending $100 bills hidden magazine pages to Costa Rica. Get more information on how to keep your loved ones safe by reading the full article at Aarp
Will You be the next Publishers Clearing House Winner?
Don't you just hate those sweepstakes; that claim you win a prize but in order to get that prize you have to pay a fee Well, this is also a scam. Ever so often, my mailbox gets flooded with mail from Publishers Clearing House Readers Digest. With these entries, these companies include sale circulars. They never neglect to remind prospective buyers that a purchase does not increase a person's chance of winning. They encourage playing for free but remind that they rather give their gifts to those who support them. This tells me that to stand a chance, I need to purchase something and so I buy just to win the $10 million which I never win. I don't know of anyone who won the sweepstakes. From now on, I put the Circulars in the trash without opening them. Too much work for nothing. First they hide the stamps necessary to enter the sweepstakes in the circulars. Postage is going up and the Shipping and Handling fees on products purchased from them are much too high.
