Hi , 

Did you know this month is National Scam Awareness month?

We thought it would be a great opportunity to give you a newsletter stuffed to the brim with details of the latest scams and how best to avoid them.

We've got important articles for you to read, plus we've pulled together some of the most recent Rip-off Britain blogs so you're aware of all the nasty scams out there.

Also, as I have done the last two weeks, I'm going to be on Periscope again tonight at 6:30 where you can ask me questions live so please do sign-up to Periscope and follow @jasmine. 

Check your inbox next week for more great money makers, money savers and subscriber-only offers.

Love,

Jasmine
