My friend sent me this thing to open a savings account through ING Direct.   Does anyone use them?  Are they good?\n\nThanks

I've had an account with ING for 3 years or so. No problems, just be aware that if you need the money out of savings, it takes 2-3 business days to transfer back to your checking account. But where else can you get 4% on a savings account?

That is a scam. They get you to pay money and then they give you worthless advice. There are machines that stuff envelopes for a lot less than human beings do it.

I found a company that I am very happy with.  I'm with Stayin Home and Lovin It! and they are the support team that is partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and a member of the Better Business Buerau.  They have a lot of products that cover all the basic needs of people and are safer for you and the environment and the prices are reasonable too.  I found many of them to be cheaper than what I was buying before joining this company.  You can do the whole in home party thing if you like but it is not necessary in order to build this business (but I am told ones that do do even better).  You do not do any order taking or delivering of products.  All your customers shop direct and you recieve a commission on everything that person you enroll buys and long as they buy.  They give great support and free tips to succeed and there is no big investment or stocking products.  There is no risk involved in trying to see if it is right for you.  There is so much information, if you are interested in learning more go to http://healthybetterme.com/ and fill in the get more information part.   I hope you find what you are looking for.

No you didn't. Sounds like a scam to me.\n\nLet me guess: \n\nA) You don't recall entering\n\nB) Your notification was by e-mail\n\nC) The course will tell you some "hot investment tips", which just all happen to be in schemes run by the course "tutors". And these schemes will mysteriously collapse, along with your money.

It's a lot of crap. I can tell at a glance. This is just the internet equivelant of the old "stuff envelopes at home and make BIG bucks!\n" You are right to be suspicious of it , esp. considering the very BIG "pay here" part. Avoid this kind of trap like the plague.

I have a friend who used them and was quite happy.  He said the reps were nice, and best of all, he got his check in like 7 days.  \n\nThey have some press releases out, and they are partnered with some other big student loan companies - Charter One Bank and First Marblehead - so their reputation seems solid.  And they are written about on About.com, a good source for finding legit companies with unique products.

By wanting a 6 month CD I'm assuming that you may be needing the money at that time.  If this is the case, a better alternative would probably be a high interest savings account.  Most of them are actually paying higher then short term CD's.  Try online either ING, Capital One Bank, or Allstate Bank.

I don't need to check the website to know that it's a scam if they are promising you 10% per month.  Loan sharks are lucky to make that kind of interest, and they have to break a few legs to get it.  \n\nI had to take a peek at the site just to see how they were selling it.  So anyway, here's how you know it is a scam:\n\n1) 10% interest per month with no risk.  If they had a way to get that kind of a return you can be damn sure they wouldn't need to go trolling on the internet for investors.\n\n2) Bad grammar/spelling on their web page.  Page isn't professional. Their contact e-mail is a hotmail account.  Probably running this from some out of the way country without an extradition treaty, and their English isn't quite up to snuff.\n\n3) No one's ever heard of these guys.  No info about them from some independent source.\n\n4) They offer you large payments for referring other people.  This is always a big clue that it is a "Ponzi" type scam.\n\n5) They are very vague about how exactly they are investing your money.

Oh!  Another dragonfly!\n\nNo I haven't used them, and yes, I'd be worried about all of that data because you don't want a bunch of bozos pulling your credit report and driving your credit score down.  I used CTX Mortgage and they were good.  They are their own lender so their margins are bigger than many banks because they are lending out their own money.  Or try www.naca.com if it's your first home.

I have found the best way of saving.  I was able to put away approximately $8000 in 18 months.  Look for www.sharebuilder.com.  Its an investment site.  You can purchase stock for $4.00, no matter how much stock you buy.  Do some research.  I chose companies based on the products i use in my daily life.  I found it be fun to save and also enjoyed shopping for new stocks.  The dividends usually pay better than any savings account, so give it a try.  It worked for me.

Don't even respond to it is scam, and certainly don't give aout any bank information or private informarion to somebody you don't know of. I' had those mails also and i run no bussiness, at first when i used the net, i didn't know better then to open because it was adressed to me in person. I never reacted to it, but in the future if you recieve such notices again, just spam them. Good luck.

They do,  but the banks and building societies delay as long as they can.  Ive got a Chelsea Building society postal savings account which is guaranteed to be 0.6% above the Bank of England base rate. So it will automatically rise from 5.35% to 5.6% now that the new rate applies.  I dont know if it is still available to new savers though.

Yes, I have been using Ing Direct for years. It is totally safe and secure by FDIC. You can link more than one savings accounts from other banks but only drawback is you do not get an ATM/Debit Card for quick access. But transfers can be done in a day. So far havent had any problems. Hope this helps.

The best bank promo i saw was that the bank near my home was giving away a free slow cooker (costs 10-15 dollars)with every checking account open\n\nI know its......lame\n\nI once used a bank product to sell some stocks of radio-shack.\n\nAll I had to do was give them the certificate, and they put it into an on-line account. I then sold all the stocks for a fee of around 15 dollars on a 3200.00 transaction

I subscribe to one of their investment letters.  I just started about 4 months ago.  I did buy one of their recommendations.  Netflix.  It has done well. Up about 8 points. Not all of their recommendatios have done so well however.  For example they are very hot on Yahoo.  Maybe given enough time.  It is a good source of information on companies that are hopefully up and comers so to speak.  They have a ream of different investment letters so I somewhat wonder how much research actually goes into one.

i think ING has a high yeild savings account that pays like 5%.  look into that
