Common Money Scams 📈 Tip #4: Protect Yourself from Job Scams

If you’re looking for work and have posted your resume on many job boards, you may get a call or email that guarantees you a job if you pay for some extra training. Anyone who says, “Pay for training now and get a job later,” is probably trying to scam you out of time and money.

These scammers often pose as recruiters and show you fake job offers from companies. It’s important not to give your personal information to someone until you can be sure of who they are and where they work.

Protect yourself from fraud by:

✔️ Verifying the sender of an email by scrolling over the address
✔️ Asking suspicious callers to identify themselves and give you their contact information
✔️ Not responding to anyone asking for urgent payment or money transfers

For more insight on how you can prevent fraud, read the full article: https://www.easyfinancial.com/academy/new-to-canada-featured/common-money-scams-and-how-to-protect-yourself

Common Money Scams 📈 Tip #3: Protect Yourself from Bank Fraud

Scammers often pretend to work at your bank so they can get your financial information. They will contact you by phone, text or email and ask you for specific information like account numbers or your personal identification number (PIN).

Protect yourself from fraud by:

✔️ Never giving anyone your bank account number or personal identification number (PIN)
✔️ Deleting any emails or texts that ask you to click on a link to provide personal information
✔️ Not responding to anyone asking for urgent payment or money transfers

Have you seen the term, “loud budgeting”, floating around social media lately?

📢 Loud budgeting simply means saying no to things that cost money and are not within your budget. For example, a friend invites you to dinner and a movie. You want to go but you’ve also promised yourself that you will put extra money toward your credit card balance this month because you want to be debt-free in the next six months.

As a loud budgeter, you tell your friend “out loud” (hence the term) about your goal to pay off your credit card in full. Then, explain that you need to make your money goal your priority. After that, you can suggest an alternative that costs less, like hanging out and watching a movie at home. It may surprise you that many of your friends would also prefer to spend less money on things like entertainment and restaurants so they can achieve some of their goals faster.

Read the full article: https://www.easyfinancial.com/academy/budgeting/why-is-everyone-talking-about-loud-budgeting

When bills and expenses are piling up in lots of places, it can be difficult to manage your budget no matter how loudly you do it. Rather than struggle to manage all the payments and not see progress, consider a debt consolidation loan. It lets you consolidate all of your high-interest-rate credit cards or other expenses into one monthly payment, over a set period of time. Learn more at easyfinancial.ca

Common Money Scams 📈 Tip #2: Protect Yourself from Housing Schemes

In this type of fraud, someone will pose as a landlord who doesn’t reside in Canada and ask you to pay a deposit upfront (usually with a wire transfer) so they can have someone show you the rental unit.
Within a few emails or texts, they will ask for money for a security deposit and the first month's rent. This is a red flag that they’re probably not who they say they are.

Before giving anyone your money, protect yourself from fraud by:

✔️ Confirming the listing
✔️ Booking a showing
✔️ Asking that the landlord be present

Common Money Scams 📈 Tip #1: Protect Yourself from Tax Fraud

You can protect yourself and your money by learning how to spot suspicious requests and what to do if someone is asking for personal information. This month, we will be sharing 4 common money scams and tips to protect yourself from them.

🏠 Every first-time homebuyer wonders how much they’ll need to make their dream of owning a home a reality. Here’s a breakdown of some of the most common costs:

✔️ Down Payment: This is the amount of money that you’re able to put toward the purchase price of a home and is usually the biggest cost.
✔️ Closing costs: These are the legal and administrative fees every homebuyer is required to pay before moving in such as land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, and home insurance.
✔️ Moving Costs: How much stuff you’re moving and how far you’re going will affect your moving costs. Hire movers, get a truck or another transport vehicle, and make sure you have plenty of boxes and packing materials.
✔️ New home costs: Remember to consider cleaning supplies like brooms, mops, and buckets. Keep in mind window coverings, area rugs, lawn care equipment, snow shovels, and after your first month, utility and insurance bills.

Pay off debt 🤝 Tip #3: The Avalanche Method

For our final tip of the month for becoming debt-free, let’s take a deeper look at the “Avalanche Method” where you’d tackle your debts in order from the highest to the lowest interest rate.

For example:

💳 First, $5,000 in credit card debt at 19% interest
🎓 $15,000 student loans at 5.9% interest
🚗 $10,000 car loan at 5.2% interest

With this example, you would tackle the higher interest rate credit card before the lower interest rate car loan. The key to the avalanche method is that it minimizes the amount of interest you’ll pay over time, and by paying less interest, you can apply those savings to other debts which will help you pay off your debt faster.

Whichever method you choose, you’ve taken the first step to becoming debt-free! Read the full article: https://www.easyfinancial.com/academy/new-to-canada-budgeting-and-saving/how-to-pay-down-debt-and-become-debt-free
