SWAGBUCKS: You just have to try this!!!

I just found out about Swagbucks yesterday but I am really excited to stumle upon it. I'm still trying to figure it all out but it looks like so much fun. I have added plenty of info and links for you to check it out. I have a Swagbucks widget at the very bottom of my blog. Check it out too.

Here's tons of info on Swagbucks.....start grabbing your money now!!!

What is Swagbucks? Unless you live under a rock, you know how much I love my Google-powered search engine, Swagbucks (SB)! I get the same search results as I would with Google, but I have the added benefit of earning digital dollars by using it for the daily searches I already make! It’s pretty much a no-brainer!

What can I buy with Swagbucks? After my digi dollars (SB) add up, I can go shopping and get FREE stuff! My friend managed to earn about $250 in Amazon gift cards since March of 2009.

How Do I Earn Swagbucks? You earn Swagbucks by searching the web, inviting friends (this is the biggee), promoting the site, and by joining/following Swagbucks’ Facebook page, YouTube page & Twitter account. You also win Swagbucks via codes the Swagbucks guys give out just about every day!

How Can I Get Started? Sign up for a Swagbucks Account . It only takes 30 seconds! You get 3 Swagbucks just for signing up! Of course, I’d love you FOREVER, if you sign up using my link!

1. Refer your friends & family to Swagbucks. For every friend who signs up, you’ll receive a free Swagbuck in your account! Post your link on Facebook, forums, Twitter & your Blog to promote your Swagbucks account.

2. Download their toolbar which fits nicely into Internet Explorer or Firefox. The toolbar will allow you to use the Swagbucks search engine for your normal daily searches. Each search has a chance to win you $1,$2,$5,$10 Swagbucks! Not every search will win you a prize. On Fridays (Mega Swagbuck Days), you can win up to $100 Swagbucks in one search!

3. Sign up for their newsletter. There’s always a secret swag code inside!

4. Check the Swagbucks blog for information on codes, updates and contests. They always have a “treasure hunt” on national holidays!

2010 Census: Be Cautious

I was reading this article avbout the Census starting up and I have the upmost respect for the Census workers. My mom did it for a year and she worked so hard and did a lot of walking but there were a few facts in here that I was not aware of so I copied the article for all of you to read about what to give a Census worker and what NOT to give them.

THIS IS PRETTY BASIC ADVICE:

Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan Johnson

With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data.

The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:

If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door:

• they will have a badge
• a handheld device
• a Census Bureau canvas bag
• a confidentiality notice.
  

Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions.

• Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information.

However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your home.

Do not give your:

•  Social Security number
• your credit card
• banking information to anyone

Even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.

 

While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Anyone asking for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau.

Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census. Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS. PLEASE SHARE THIS INFO WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
