My Email Has Been Hacked: What To Do If Your Email Account Has Been Hijacked


06 Jan 2012

If youre reading this youve probably had your email address hijacked, and if not you may consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Having your email hacked can be an excruciating process so in this article Im going to show you what you should do if this happens to you, or maybe it already has.

Back a few years ago one of my brothers web clients had her email hijacked. Things started out simple enough when she received an email from her email provider claiming that her email may be getting hacked and that she needed to log in immediately to lock the account.

So she clicked on the link provided in the email and it brought her to her Hotmail account log in page or what she thought was her log in page. She then signed in and in that second she handed over her entire email log in details to a group of scammers who immediately logged in to her real email account and changed the password.

Sadly, this scam is an all to common story on the internet.  However, do you know who is the most likely to be hit by this scam?  I

3 things to look at the balance transfer credit cards


05 Jan 2012

0 balance transferThere are times when people fail to meet their financial obligations on a credit card, and end up raising a lot of high interest rates of debts on their cards, and they find it difficult to repay. Balance transfer credit cards were introduced to give people an opportunity to eliminate burdensome debt by moving their credit card balance to another card.

The market offers a lot of credit cards that provide the balance transfer option, but how to define if you really need to use one of them? To help you, there are several characteristics that you should check in balance transfer credit cards before getting one.

The period of 0% APR

Many providers offer an introductory 0% interest rate on balance transfer credit cards for a number of months. When comparing different variants, you should look for a card that offers the maximum time to pay your dues to 0%, because once the introductory offer on your card will expire, the interest rate rates will rise.

The Ugly Underbelly of the Personal Loan


01 Jan 2012

Over at “Surviving and Thriving,” Donna Freedman recently blogged about her experience lending money to a friend. Her post resonated with me as I have had a similar experience. So while we talk a lot about different types of loans in the world of personal finance–be it car loans, mortgages or payday lenders–we often neglect to discuss one of the most common lending practices: the personal loan.

Shakespeare is quoted as saying, “Neither a borrower nor a lender be” and I’m inclined to agree with him. I’ve been on both sides of the coin and it’s not an easy situation to be in. Having borrowed $5,000 from my father to help fix up a newly purchased condo, there was always an undercurrent of judgment. Although I do remember laughing when my father visited me post renovations and looked down at my shiny, new hardwood laminate funded by his money and said, “Hello, floor!“

Still, I was mighty happy to pay off that debt.

On the other side of the equation was the time I lent over $500 to my hairdresser whose husband had gone off on an alcoholic binge and had left her with two small kids and only half the money she needed to pay the rent. Full Article…

U.S. housing starts build foundation for market gains Tuesday


30 Dec 2011

Global markets caught some holiday spirit Tuesday, with positive economic news from Europe and the United States driving gains in most markets.

In Toronto, the benchmark S&P/TSX composite index rose 177.18 points, or 1.54%, to 11,716.88. All 10 sub-sectors advanced, led by materials, up 3.12 per cent, and energy, which gained 1.91%.

“Santa came to town during the North American session. Right out of the gates, equity jumped into the green and by mid-session following the European close, stocks were up close to three per cent,” said Stewart Hall, senior currency strategist at RBC Dominion Securities, in a note to investors.

“A number of factors conspired to provide for a fertile risk environment. Kicking off the day was a 25-basis-point rate cut out of the Riksbank that was viewed favourably across the risk spectrum. A firmer than expected German (Ifo Institute) report (on business climate) helped to underpin sentiment as well as a strong Spanish bill auction. . . . Into the North American session, the feel-good story for risk was supplemented by a stronger-than-expected U.S. housi

Fitch Ratings Issues Credit Downgrades to Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley


30 Dec 2011

Fitch Ratings announced on Thursday it had made credit downgrades on eight of the world’s largest banks, including Bank of America Corp., The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley. The ratings agency explained that the downgrades were the result of increased challenges facing the banking sector, due to weak economic growth and heightened regulation.

Bank of America and More Face Credit Downgrades

Fitch Ratings had previously announced its intentions to conduct a review of the world’s largest banks. After conducting its review, it determined that eight banks required credit downgrades, also referred to as viability ratings downgrades.

According to Fitch’s website, viability ratings (VRs) “represent Fitch’s view as to the intrinsic creditworthiness of an issuer.” As determined by its review, the creditworthiness of the following banks were in question:

  • Bank of America Corp.
  • Barclays PLC
  • BNP Paribas
  • Credit Suisse AG
  • Deutsche Bank AG
  • The Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
  • Morgan Stanley
  • Societe Generale

The ratings agency’s report revealed that Bank of America’s viability rating was lowered to “bbb,” which denotes “good” prospects for ongoing viability. The other banks were do

Why I Stopped Contributing to My 401k


12 Dec 2011

One of the major benefits of a 401k is it allows you to divert taxes on todays income to your retirement years, when ideally you will find yourself in a lower tax bracket.

Of course, that benefit is not always a given. Tax rates could increase, or your income needs could increase in retirement. Either way, you might find yourself paying more in taxes than you planned on earlier in life.

For me, the tax advantages do not outweigh the other problems/limitations of a 401k. Of course, much of this is very personal, as the company I work for chooses the plan administrator, and the administrator controls the investment options.

Payday Loans can Help Alleviate Fiscal Woes


09 Dec 2011

Paycheck cash advances have received a lot of media attention in the last few years, mainly highlighting the negative effects associated with payday loans. But despite of so much criticism on the interest charges and short repayment time, payday loans continue to be the number one financing product in the money lending market according to various survey reports. This is validated with the fact that payday loans, if use wisely, can prove to be a great source of financial aid.

The entire structure of quick cash loans is pretty different from the typical money lending being done in the market. The attribute that these loans are only meant to be given until the borrower gets his next paycheck, makes them perhaps the most short term easy loans today.

Previously people were not familiar with the idea of taking a loan for fulfilling a monthly short ranged expense such as electricity or gas bill payment, tuition fee expense or any home improvement task, but with the introduction of online payday loans, the idea has not only become familiar but also rapidly popular with increasing number of customers applying for these loans for making both ends meet.
