They really don't do much to help responsible people or those that are lucky not to have lost their jobs. It's mainly to help those that had bad luck or just made some less than optimal financial decisions. Oh, and yeah, shouldn't have given those number. Glad that I know you didn't give any of those number away. :) @finance deals I have to say that people that want to cheat people, can do it in an up market or a down market. They're probably just more likely to get caught in a down market, especially one like this one. That's when everyone starts paying attention to their money. As long as the money keeps rolling in, people don't notice the cheating. That's pretty much what happened with Madoff. He went until the lie couldn't be concealed anymore. @shawno From what I understand, you have to be on your way to foreclosure.

I want to know if you have to already be heading towards foreclosure to be part of that or if anyone can apply for it (within the limitations of what's listed on the site, of course)? And you mean to tell me that the website www.geturowndamnfries.org isn't a legitimate government portal? Now I regret giving them my Social Security and credit card numbers.

How can they do that during a recession? Each day there's some billionaire or millionaire or company who scammed the company and investors.
