Money Scams You Won’t Believe! Interview With The Consumerist

This week on Talk Credit Radio, host Gerri Detweiler interviews Ben Popken, managing editor of the wildly popular blog, The Consumerist, about top money scams—and how to avoid them.

Among the tricks and cons they’ll cover:

  • A new twist on the old advance fee loan scam
  • The black money scam
  • Apple computers aren’t supposed to get viruses—but they can if you fall for this one
  • The laptop “deal” that proved to be a steal (for the seller)
  • A refi swindle that’s costing homeowners their homes.

Ben will also share:

  • A unique way to avoid early termination fees, and
  • Two simple things consumers could do right now to stop 90% of scams in their tracks.
