When you're chewing gum and you blow it into a balloon, remember to suck it out before it gets too big and explodes right to your face. It only takes a while to fix a gum face but year's worth of earning before you can recover from a financial scam. Don't let deceit cheat your hard work's worth of money and heed the warnings. Look for symptoms so you can prevent the pervading financial malady of the evil virus of deceit. What are the warning signs? First, they'll ask you to file a new credit identity for a new credit portfolio. Instead of using your Social Security Number, they'll ask you to tamper with an Employer Number. Yes, their devil's advocates. And even if you're the real victim here, once caught with fraud, you won't go unpunished by the law. So before these so-called "credit repair firms" bleed you white, self-help may be a better idea after all.
