Who Called?

Advance fee for a loan scam

 
advance-fee-for-a-loan scam the only difference is it’s a grant instead of a loan, as described here http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/telemarketing/tel16.shtm which states “It is illegal for companies doing business in the U.S. by phone to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.” They will want you to wire the money via Western Union (Moneygram, etc.) because wired-cash is irretrievable – once it’s picked up at the other end, it’s untraceable and the scammers will vanish on you. Report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG.

Financial Literacy Certification Test

Financial Literacy Certification Test

The Financial Literacy Certification Program has touched the lives of more than 250,000. On average, 75 percent of students pass the Certification Test every year, graduating financially literate. The ranking will be published annually, giving all schools that participate in the Financial Literacy Certification Program an opportunity to earn a place on it each year.
For more information about w!se, contact info(at)wise-ny(dot)org, or visit the program website http://www.wise-ny.org/
This is a huge joke.
This is not a national ranking (since the certification program is not even offered in 22 states) and to claim that it is is just plain false.
1997, The NFI Report said the average financial literacy score was 57.3% — a failing grade, but that’s the best it has ever been, and it has fallen consistently ever since.
2013 83% of Students Want Financial Education in Schools, however the curriculum requirements are largely set at the state and local level. Only Four States Virginia, Missouri, Utah and Tennessee Mandate one stand alone class in personal finance in high school. By 2014, personal finance education will be mandatory in schools in the UK!
2013 National opinion poll of high school students probed their attitudes and found teenagers almost expect to be victimized by financial firms. 60% of students firmly believe that credit card companies often entice people into taking on more debt that they can handle, while 70% believe that businesses try to “trick” young people into spending more than they should. The stock market is rigged mostly to benefit greedy Wall Street bankers.
