Check Scam - Don't Be A Victim!Aug 02, 2010: We received a letter in the mail which had a check and a notification. It said that we’d won a foreign lottery! So far so good, after all who does not like free money especially lotteries. The next step was to deposit the check but there was a catch which raised our suspicion. We’re told to keep the portion representing our winning and wire transfer $3000 back to cover the taxes so that we could collect the rest of our winnings! Our inner voice whispered “Scam, Scam, Scam!”

Now let us present an anatomy of a check scam. Its always fun to unravel the details of a scam. The best part is to let our friends and relatives know about it so that they don’t fall prey to ever new vicious scams.

Online Investing and Forex Trading

Filed Under (Investor News) by Admin on 30-07-2010

Investing is a great way to become familiar with the financial markets. By starting up an investment account, you will begin to understand how the global markets work. The more you understand the greater the probability that you will earn money instead of losing it. Investing is not a sure bet, so if you think that it is an automatic 10% return you are a bit mistaken. There are times when markets do rise; sometimes even more than 10% a year depending on the time frame you are looking at. There are also times that markets will lose value, and in turn your investment will lose value. Most recently a market crash happened during the end of 2007 and through 2008. The market move that occurred during that time was one of the worst percentage drops ever recorded, and caused many people to lose money.

When first starting out, deposit the minimum required by your broker so that you will not be tempted to invest all your money into stocks. Starting out small and adding more money over time as you feel more comfortable is the best approach to investing. I recommend starting out by buying mutual funds that are offered by your broker. This type of investment is perfect for those who have just opened up a new account. It allows you to buy into a basket of stocks that have a professional money manager monitoring them. You will still have to do some research and learn what companies comprise the various funds available. From the research you can learn about the various market sectors and industries that make up the markets. The breakdown of what companies are in what market sectors will help you understand who the main competitors to the business are. You can then choose funds that have the companies that you believe are the best in their sector.
