458-508 – Lynn Edgington, founder-president of Eagle Research Associates (eagleresearchassociates.org) warns people about the latest scams, cons and rip offs. The big one right now is targeting the Hispanic community – it's a cash gifting scam called Elite Activity Gifting. They're especially targeting illegals whom they know won't report getting ripped off, and their even soliciting outside of Catholic churches.
512-523 – • Fox News (5/12/09) Chicago Family's 'Buy Black' Experiment Becoming a Nationwide Movement.
My Summary: Maggie and John Anderson of Chicago vowed four months ago that for one year, they would try to patronize only black-owned businesses. They call their "Empowerment Experiment." And as of 5/1/09, they've spent $27,105 at black-owned businesses, about 55% of their monthly spending. On their website, ebonyexperiment.com, you can track their progress and also sign up to participate – which over 4,000 people have done. But there are challenges. It's 14 miles to the grocery store, and they can find black-owned day care, car maintenance, and home improvement, but they still haven't found a mortgage lender, home security system vendor, or a toy store. The big goal, in my opinion, is for this to promote entrepreneurship and get more blacks self-employed. The Anderson's hope to show $1 million was spent in black businesses in 2009 because of the Empowerment Experiment.
