Timeshares crack me up the most. 99% of ads you see on TV deal with GETTING RID of timeshares...in fact, I’ve never seen an ad on TV touting a timeshare (just post cards that are mass-mailed).

It’s kind of like watching a football game and the only car commercials you see are from companies will to rid you of your car.

One scam not mentioned is renting a home or an apartment.

I recently found myself needing an apartment after being out of the rental game for a long time. In San Diego, everyone now wants the deposit and 1st month rent Venmoed or e-transferred to them before you get the keys. I know it's a safety precaution for the landlord with so many deadbeat tenants. But it's also an opportunity for scammers.

Desperate to find a place, I almost got scammed out of $3600 before my spidey senses kicked in and I realized there was no apartment.

My aunt lost everything to a Jamaican Sweepstakes scam. When she tried to pull out, they sent her a picture of her door at the Assisted living place where she lived and threatened to harm her. Inside job.
