$$$: Email and phone scams are increasing. You can get taken for thousands.

[Farmer-Rick]

3. Then there are catfishing scams

And phone scams, and IRS and threatening law enforcement scams, and phony prize winner scams.

And don't forget the 3 most profitable scams in the US: Amway, Timeshares and Reverse Mortgages. It's just never ending.

Because so many scams are constantly thrown at you, one or two are bound to get through. You sometimes let your guard down or forget to read the fine print and that's when they get you.

Since our government never prosecutes these scams they just keep proliferating. If one or two are caught, they are let off with a slap on the wrist. The Supremes even blessed the multi level schemes like Amway.
