Rainn Wilson on WIRED Science

Rainn Wilson aka Dwight has a hilarious appearance on WIRED Science which airs on PBS.  Judging form this i may have to set the DVR up to grab a few episodes.  Did you hear that…that was my wife groaning, don’t be concerned this happens with any of the programs I choose to watch.  I found the clip to be hilarious for all of the Dwight from the Office idiosyncrasies which creep in.

Don’t Fall For Fake Check Scams

I understand that we are all tempted by the possibility to get rich quick or to get something for nothing but please, DO NOT cash a check and wire some of the money to someone else.  Recently a collection of banks, creditors, associations and the USPS have banded together for an awesome PSA campaign about check scams.  The campaign revolves around fakechecks.org where there are a collection of videos, quizes and information regarding check scams.

I found fakechecks.org through a commercial during primetimeTV a few weeks ago, it is embedded below.

I think this campaign is very worthwhile endeavor.  I wish the various banks and creditors behind this would get together and work to educate consumers about credit in general.  I think everyone could use more information about the risks of credit and clearer rules and fee structures wouldn’t hurt either.
