  • Ineternet friend in foreign nation in danger, may be scam!?

    This happens here and other places a lot. Today the US state dept has some new info on this subject. Before you send money or assist someone in need of help overseas contact your own dept of foreign affairs, (non american) and in the us go to www.state.gov or www.travel.state.gov

    We know we all have compassion but a simple money transfer can wipe out your entire account.

    The Consular Affairs Bureau receives daily calls about international scams involving Internet Dating, Inheritance, Work Permits, Overpayment, and Money-Laundering. Many scams are initiated through the Internet; victims range in age from 18 to 81 and come from all socio-economic backgrounds.

    If you feel you have been a victim of an Internet scam, please consult our consular publications for help and send all direct reports of Internet fraud to the Federal Bureau of Investigation at: http://www.ic3.gov/ . If the scam originated through a particular website, notify the administrators of that website. If you are concerned about an American in distress overseas, but you are not sure if it is a legitimate case, call our office of Overseas Citizens Services at 888-407-4747 (from overseas: 202-501-4444).

  • To save our country buy t bills and savings bonds?

    http://www.savingsbonds.gov/

    I have forever and my parents before. In years past the govt pushed them to pay off war debts.

    They have low interest but guaranteed rates and you can use them tax free to buy a house or fund an education.

    You can buy a 50 bond for 25 dollars and on up.

    Better than a CD!

    Every person who loves America should buy a bond. It pays down the national debt and helps our country.

  • Why do mexican come here and give birth then get dual citizenship for the kids?

    I saw this on the local news. The mex govt came to help process 250 kids born to illegals in the US who are now demanding dual citizenship of their American child? If they can go through this legal process why didn't they try to become legal in the US as well first?

    I have friends and family who came as refugees or other immigrants who followed the rules and I myself immigrated to Canada. It can be costly and a pain but worth the legal process. So if the Mexicans know the rules why not follow them and instead they cause more hardship that they claim they are escaping from.
