by Structured Settlement Watchdog
Millennials and Gen Z, versed in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies know that a fork is more than just a pronged tool for spearing your lunch and guiding it gracefully to your face.
If you have a structured settlement, you may be approached by factoring companies who will attempt to groom you so they can induce you to “fork over” your structured settlements for pennies on the dollar
Despite structured settlement protection acts such companies have partnered with big data and/or maintain their own databases to target their victims using false, misleading and unethical marketing techniques to get them to fork over the valuable rights to their structured settlement money. There is a simple warning!
Beware of the “MuthaForkers”
Beware of mailings or phone calls from companies who pretend to be from a fake but official sounding government agency or fraudulent structured settlement registry.
It may seem like common sense, but beware of attempts by representatives of structured settlement factoring companies trying to befriend you, buy you booze, get you to blaze one (in states where it is illegal), take you to strip clubs, fly you to Florida or bus you into Virginia or Connecticut. Understand that you are the sheep and these companies are wolves seek to shear off your financial hair.
It’s all unsavory business conduct that is designed to trap you so they can fleece you for pennies on the dollar. Don’t get forked over.
