How about if you realized that you'd just been scammed for thousands of dollars? What about if, due to a circumstance as unavoidable as having the same name as a criminal, your credit rating kept you from buying a house or a car, or getting a loan for college? Most people trust that everything will work out and assume that the government will help them if trouble arises. However, Robert Massi reveals what the government doesn't want you to know -- daily life and decisions are fraught with potential danger, and government mismanagement often has disastrous consequences for innocent, law-abiding citizens. Familiar to viewers as a national TV legal analyst, Robert Massi has heard countless stories of well-intentioned individuals getting caught up in damaging situations that they didn't see coming. Nonetheless, the most frustrating part of these heartaches is that they could - and should - have been avoided. Massi will share some of these astonishing stories of real people - and then, he'll show you how to learn from these mishaps. Touching on everything from dodging identity theft to starting a business, PEOPLE GET SCREWED ALL THE TIME explains how to avoid falling for scams, getting entrenched in endless legal battles, and inadvertently ending up on the wrong side of the law. Also, if worst comes to worst, it provides unbeatable tips for how to extract yourself from a wide variety of sticky situations. This indispensable guide covers the spheres of life that matter most: Identity; Love, Family, and Relationships; Money, Finances, and Debt; Your Home; Cars; Work and Business Relationships; Final Affairs. Suggesting small steps that can be taken today, PEOPLE GET SCREWED ALL THE TIME helps you to avert catastrophe tomorrow.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
