		<description><![CDATA[It was one of the hardest decisions you had to make.
In your mind, okay, I will let go of the house.  I cannot pay it anymore.  It makes no sense to pay for a steep mortgage when the value of the house has gone down by half.  No sense.  Everybody is doing it anyway.  I should be fine.

You do it, sign the papers, let the bank foreclose and rest on your laurels.

		<description><![CDATA[If there is anything that I have learned during all my years of existence, it is that you do not get answers if you do not ask any questions.
So I ask my questions, no matter how silly or how dumb it sounds.  Doubt is also an element that I constantly entertain in my mind, so I confirm and re-confirm until the thing has no choice but to sound true.

So on the day that I got my credit card statement and alarm bells were sounding in my head, I picked up the phone and called Citibank direct.

		<description><![CDATA[I need only to look at my spam folder and my 139 spam emails to realize that these scams are not few and far between, and that the scammers have been getting bolder and that a lot of thought and resources are being put into this.  My financial planner emailed one scammer, saying, "it is more fulfilling to do good and honest work rather than scam people out of their money".  To his surprise, the spammer had the temerity to respond: "What if you finally get this fund, what should I do to you? Do you want your payment or not?"]]></description>
