Dos and don'ts of holding home's title in LLC
DEAR BENNY: I own several single-family rental homes. In talking to advisors, one says I should put the houses into LLCs for liability protection. Another said, don't bother. If you get sued, your liability protection on your homeowners policy plus your umbrella policy will cover you. Obviously, the latter provides only attorney and possible judgment costs, but does the LLC really keep you from being sued, or protect you if you are sued, so that you would not need to use the umbrella policy? –Bruce

FBI Warns of Chinese Earthquake E-Mail Scam

By Terrence O'Brien

Anytime something terrible happens in the world, there is always some jerk looking to make a buck off of other people's sympathy and good will.

So keep alert, as you're bound to get at least a few e-mails soliciting donations to aide victims of the recent earthquake in China that has claimed the lives of 50,000 and climbing. The FBI on Wednesday offered the following list of tips to avoid getting scammed, many of which we've covered before, but it never hurts to review:

Do not respond to unsolicited (spam) e-mail. Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as officials soliciting via e-mail for donations. Do not click on links contained within an unsolicited e-mail. Be cautious of e-mail claiming to contain pictures in attached files, as the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders. To ensure contributions are received and used for intended purposes, make contributions directly to recognized organizations rather than relying on others to make the donation on your behalf. Validate the legitimacy of the organization by directly accessing the recognized charity or aid organization's website rather than following an alleged link to the site. Attempt to verify the legitimacy of the nonprofit status of the organization by using various Internet-based resources, which also may assist in confirming the actual existence of the organization. Do not provide personal or financial information to anyone who solicits contributions: providing such information may compromise your identity and expose you to identity theft. And remember, most of the above tips are applicable to pretty much any e-mail scam, so hold on to them! [Source: NBC News]
