Tuesday, November 28th, 2006Many of you may be familiar with payperpost which pays bloggers to post articles with links on their blogs. They also pay to have people post videos talking about their product.

If It Sounds To Good To be True
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006When it comes to personal finances and money, the saying “if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is” should always be in the back of your mind. That still doesn’t keep people for falling for scams as this British show reveals when it sets up a computer scam:
To help avoid falling for a similar scam, the video’s advice that you should always get a receipt (with the stores contact information) that details the work to be done is sound. I would also include:
Reasons Not To Buy Bottled Water
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006This video highlights how many of us have unconsciously accepted what the advertisers say about bottled water to the point that many people now assume that bottled water is better than tap water. The reality is that most people can’t tell the difference.
