You won’t believe what some nasty debt collectors are up to now!    Some are hiring pretty girls to “friend” their debtors on facebook!   So, if you owe a debt and debt collectors are after you, don’t “accept” a friend unless you know who she is!  Even IF she is a knock-out!  What happens is, once you accept, then the debt collector has access to your profile and can find out where you work, etc!  By the way, it’s illegal!  Check out my story on www.wpri.com and click on Call 12 for Action.

Want to go out for dinner without the guilt of busting your budget???  I found a great website,  called restaurant.com (make sure you don’t make it plural!!)  You can get up to 60% off on gift certificates to various restaurants.  Blue Grotto on the hill is one of the participating restaurants.  I tested it out, I interviewed the company spokesperson and this is a great, legitmate website.  I bought a $10 gift certificate for just $3 !  There are restrictions, however, the way I look at it,  it pays for drinks, dessert or the tip!!! Very cool!  Check it out and then report back to me on some of the deals you got!!!!
