WYDaily has collaborated with AARP to raise awareness about scams people need to watch out for.
A scam will be featured every Wednesday, so be sure to always check WYDaily.com and be in the know.
Here’s this week’s edition:
If you’re like a lot of people, you spent a lot this holiday season and you might be in the mood to tackle your debt in the New Year.
Getting yourself out of debt is hard work. It takes time and discipline.
So, here’s the deal: Be wary of offers of guaranteed quick fixes.
Con artists prey on consumer’s frustration over finances by offering the keys to getting your finances in order. These offers usually involve up-front fees, bad advice like stopping communication with your creditors and vague details on what services they actually provide.
If you need help getting out of debt, turn to an organization like the nonprofit National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
