Troubled Times for Consumers

posted by Chris |  We are all aware that times are tough for many Americans.  Naturally, there are companies that are hoping to profit from people’s financial misery. 

I don’t know which of the companies that advertise are legitimate and which are not.  If you know someone who needs help, please direct them to the Federal Trade Commission http://www.ftc.gov/ as their starting point.

No one wants to see someone asking for help, only to get taken advantage of by asking the wrong person.
