Unfortunately con-men pray on people in trouble or financially illiterate. They should have a basic mandatory financial subject at high school level. It is crazy how many young people fall into credit card debt trap as soon as they enter college.

I also have a bridge id like to sell if she would like to buy.
It's better than going on a 2 month vacation.

How did people not see this as a CON? They pay 35% of your bills from magic grants? And those magic grants came from magic beans?

I got a bridge I need to sell...

Lizzette Britt didn?t know an ex-con with a storied history was the man behind Save My Future, a company that promised to manage her bills for a fee.

"I learned about the business through word of mouth and then I looked up the website and felt it was legitimate," said Britt, 43, of Jersey City.

Britt, and her sister, Shawnette Britt, visited the Atlantic Street office on June 6, they said.

The pair said a rep explained how the program worked, and then they were greeted by Germaine Theodore.

"Mr. Theodore himself came over and started explaining more about the program," Shawnette Britt said. "I was so excited to get this kind of help."

All they?d have to do would be to sign up with the company, paying a $35 per month membership fee. They?d give Save My Future a list of bills, and once they gave money ? 65 percent of what was owed for the bills ? the company would make the payments, adding the other 35 percent.

The bills would be paid 15 days after a customer paid their 65 percent, they said they were told.

The sisters signed on.
