The Treasury Department offered few details but said the deal applied only to investors who held newly issued Triple-A rated assets. Loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration have dropped sharply in the last year.

Multi-level marketing a direct sales system is a well-established legitimate form of business the BBB says — however consumers need to watch out for “pyramid” type MLMs that emphasize recruiting others as opposed to selling the product. The online business ad that claims you can turn your computer into a cash machine is a definite scam. Processing medical insurance claims can be a money-loser by the time you buy the software and pay for training sessions — only to find that you may not even have a consumer client base from which to do your work.
