What will you do when you are Scammed?

[Offshore-Wealth]

In a recession, you can expect scammers to come out of the woodwork and with more people desperate to make an extra income due to over 10% unemployment, and recession getting worse, you can't trust anyone or any type of business anymore.

Getting scammed is not the end of the world, in fact, almost everyone has been scammed at one time or another, just look what the U.S. bailed out banks are doing to credit card customers, we are all being scammed, yet how many know it?

Simply put, banks are raising credit card interest rates and cutting credit lines to a point that even if you never missed a payment, your FICO score is going to drop a hundred points or more as your credit lines are cut back to what you owe. This is a scam of the worst kind, by banks who we were taught to trust, what a joke that was on everyone. The banks are the biggest crooks of all, the biggest scammers of all, and mainly responsible for financial and economic collapse we are all feeling at the moment.

So when people mention they were scammed, none are worse than what banks are getting away with. My best advice, when banks double or triple your interest rates, don't agree, make sure you contact them and say you do not agree and in most cases, you can keep lower rates, but you also have to know they will disable your credit card, or some state that default rate will apply if you ever use card again, so be careful.

If people unite and shift their banking business to credit unions as example, we can send a message to these greedy rip off banks. I know I have, and will never do buisness with any traditional bank again, especially the ones we were forced as taxpayers to bail out. Enough is enough, hopefully these rip off banks get it in the end, and millions simply say enough is enough and stop paying off any bank who doubled or tripled their interest rates. I had 6.15% at CitiBank and they went to 29.9% with not one late payment, and all they said is it was a business decision when I threatened to cancel, so this is what they wanted, people to cancel to reduce their liability for as we all saw, Citi filed bankruptcy after billions in TARP money was doled out to these crooks.

CIT Group has problem not Citigroup. So, Citibank is OK.

I think it is hard to tell when you are being scammed up front because so many people try and tell you to follow their fool proof step-by-step plan and you will get paid. I have tried the step-by-step plans and a couple have not shown any results at all. I am getting very frusterated. Can any one help me??
