How to Prevent Identity Theft and Financial Scams

On this week's episode of Networth and Chill I'm talking all things financial scams. I'll be breaking down some of the most common money scams, including Payday Loans, Venmo Scams, and of course Ponzi schemes and MLMs. Some of these might not seem like scams on the surface, but I'm here to tell you how these situations can swindle you out of your hard earned money. And I'll be talking about one of the biggest scams of them all, Identity Theft. I'll give you a step-by-step guide for what to do if your identity gets stolen, and give you the tools necessary to undo the damage done and get your financial life back on track.

Here's who to contact if you are a victim of identity theft:

The Federal Trade Commision - identitytheft.gov

One of the following credit bureaus: Equifax (1-800-525-6285), Experian (1-888-397-3742), or TransUnion (1-800-680-7289)
