There is good news for consumers when it comes to credit card reform, and Michele Johnson from Consumer Credit Counseling Service explained the new laws.

Robert Frimet from the Fraud Task Force of Nevada had a scam warning for Nevadans. If you receive a check from the Canadian Lottery or any other source you’re not sure of, do not wire money to them and do not cash the check. You could be held responsible for the money. 

If you are moving and have to hire movers, make sure they are licensed through the Nevada Transportation Authority to prevent losing your belongings.

Opportunity Boulevard is holding a job fair on August 20th, and you can visit their website to register. They are teamed up with Recruiting Nevada, who just launched a mobile version of their job listings service that was featured in this episode. 

If you’re a renter, you need to check and see if your home or condo is in foreclosure on a regular basis.  You can do that at RentalForeclosure.com or at the Clark County Assessor’s website.

Recession Rx has teamed up with Nevada JobConnect to feature new job listings very week in the program and they’re also available here on our site. Nevada JobConnect also told us about Nevada Career Information Systems - a resource that can help you with the job seeking process from start to finish.

The Daily Dose featured the National Financial Education Foundation’s website, where you can find out how to add your number to the “Do Not Call” list and how to stop junk mail from filling your mailbox. Also, for Las Vegas locals, there is a new deal for your family to take advantage of before June 30 at the Adventuredome at Circus Circus.
