Is Asset Protection Legal?

Perhaps you’ve heard of or seen Hollywood’s portrayal of Swiss Bank accounts, Offshore Trusts and Corporations, and Tax Havens of the rich and famous as jet setting moguls live mysterious yet exciting lives.

But in the real world, although these same financial structures (most administrated by reputable and legal banks), have been around for hundreds of years, there are still many people who consider the above strategic asset protection entities as illegal.

I think we need to look at what they were intended to do. Asset or lawsuit protection laws were designed for the very purpose of protecting your assets from being frozen and the possibility of unjust forfeiture.

Still others consider asset protection a moral dilemma… something unethical or dishonest. This is the furthest thing from the truth.

But, at the same time, I’m not trying to start a moral debate here nor am I recommending nor would any attorney in their right mind advise that you avoid paying a judgment or fine that you rightfully owe.

That being said, I feel you should be in the position to make the final verdict on what is fair and right.

Because when lifetime, incumbent judges and bleeding-heart juries stop handing out ludicrous decisions, then I’ll be the first person to tell you that you’ll no longer need to protect your hard earned assets.

I guess the irony of it is, collection lawyers, government agencies such as the IRS and the FTC, and everyone outside the asset protection circle, make every effort to characterize legal asset protection as dishonest, fraudulent, or worse.

Of course, their motives are transparent. They viciously denounce anyone who successfully stop their efforts to collect or seize their assets which then disrupts the stream of income flowing in their direction.

So, total asset protection is NOT illegal or a privilege; it is a freedom protected by the U.S. Constitution. Imagine that.

I think most people would be totally surprised at how many of our politicians and well known corporate giants have gone offshore to safe guard their millions in assets.

Looking into asset protection and then taking action to protect your business and personal assets maybe one of the most important and intelligent financial decisions you may ever make.

So, talk to an asset protection consultant and attorney now… before its too late.

Because the cost of setting these protection devices in place will be ridiculously small compared to the cost of losing your home, cars, retirement and investment accounts. Not to mention the unimagineable stress. Do it now.

Identity Theft Scams

Identity Theft scams continue to flourish on the web. One that you need to be aware of and beware of is any site that seems to be selling high-demand items (digital cameras for instance) at a much lower (almost unbelievable) price than you can find on other sites or the manufacturers site.

Often the victims are told to pay nothing until they receive the merchandise. The person behind the scam uses the victims name and a credit card number belonging to another person to purchase the item at a legitimate site.

Once the item is shipped, the victim then authorizes his credit card to be billed or sends payment directly to the scammer. The scammer has now put you in the position of being in receipt of stolen merchandise while they get away with your money.

Another scam that still seems to be working is being contacted through e-mail by someone claiming to be from your credit card company, your internet service provider, Paypal, or Ebay.

The scammer will send a message stating that your account information needs to be verified because their files were hacked into, their database crashed or they believe that someone has tried to steal your account information and they want to verify your information in order to protect your account. The con artist then uses the information supplied to verify your account to run up fraudulent charges.

NEVER give personal information to a company, such as AOL or Ebay, that already has it. If you are suspicious about being contacted, contact the company yourself before giving out any personal information.
