Dear
Kim,
July is the summer month of celebration, family
gatherings, picnics and vacations. There are a number of ways to
enjoy these occasions and not be consumed with your
mounting paperwork!
As we celebrate this 4th of July, please take a few moments to honor our
country, the noble and brave men and women that are willing to
give their life for our freedom.
As an American, I am so grateful for the abundance in my
life. I do not take for granted what liberty and freedom mean to
me. We all have the the capacity to exercise choice and free
will. We have the opportunity to work at a profession of our
choosing, have a home, raise a family and have religious
freedom. Let us all be grateful for our country and the importance
of respect for one another.

THE EIGHT DEADLY SCAMS
Keep an eye out and ears open!
|
Charity Fraud
This scam preys on the public's generosity in giving
to reputable charities by soliciting funds for disreputable or
fraudulent ones.
Foreign Lotteries
A call or letter tells consumers that they may have
already won a big prize in a foreign lottery, obtainable merely by
providing bank account or credit card information.
Foreign Money Offers
A "foreign government official" offers an
opportunity to split a huge sum of money if he can just transfer
funds to your bank account-and naturally, he needs your account
information.
Identity Theft
This is on the rise! Be aware and take the steps to
protect yourself as much as possible. Go to our website: www.WeKeepYourBooks.com and click on
"NEWS" to check out our archived newsletter from March 16,
2009 to give you some tips on what to do to cover
your bases!
Internet Auctions
Though thousands of legitimate transactions take place
online each day, sometimes goods purchased never arrive or are less
valuable than promised.
"Phishing"
Con artists look to gather personal information by
asking consumers to "update" or "validate" their
billing information, including credit card and Social Security
numbers.
Sweepstakes
This very common scam tells consumers they have won
something, and they need only pay a fee for processing, taxes or
delivery to claim their prize.
Work at Home
This scam offers great payouts for little work at
home, telling consumers they need only pay up-front supply, training
or materials charges-charges they rarely recoup.

Investigation Gone Wrong!
Small companies are not the only ones that worry about
their accounting...
In Palo Alto, city offiicals and council members
apologized for the city's role in the flawed Palo Alto Children's
Theater police investigation (stated by the Daily News).
To make a long story short, the theater was under
investigation for alleged fraud. When it was all said and done,
the evidence clearly showed that the officials were sloppy bookkeepers as opposed to criminals.

Tips &
Social Media websites can
be an enhancement to your business and bring in revenue once you get
"connected".
It takes time, strategy and thought to make
things happen. I discovered so much and continue to pursue a larger
audience to grow my business.
I'm linked to the following sights:
I am a "newbie" and find the statistics
staggering. After advertising and spending only $110 over a span of 3
days, there were 403,000 viewers that saw my ad through Facebook.
There is much to learn and as they say, this is a work
in progress! To all of us that are looking for what's next, give it a

Ways to $ave Money!
Discounts are available to help you reduce your
electrical bill. Contact your local PG&E office and ask about how
you may be able  to qualify. In some instances you can
receive nearly a 50% decrease due to running a home based
business.
Property taxes may also be lowered if there has
been a decrease in your property value. Click here and find more
