Have you?

Probably.

Not by E-mail but I have seen sites that offer high rates of interest and then after some investigation have found that they are not FDIC insured.

No idea. I don't open any spam e-mails.

Well that definitely explains ING. Just kidding... Or maybe not??? Is ING FDIC insured?

That doesn't prove anything. Most investments aren't FDIC insured. Only bank accounts are.

Yes


CDs, savings, checking accounts should always be unless they are through a credit union where they should be NCUA insured which is the same thing

Those aren't investments, they're bank accounts.

If you type interest rates or savings account rates into google, one will pop up on the right side of the screen. They are based in some G-d forsaken country and promise yields of up to 9% depending how much money you put in and the term length. I am surprised Google allows this. I guess I shouldn't be really.

One of the benefits of not having any money is not havening to worry about being ripped off all the time......

That's so 2002.
