MSN Money, PBS Series Run 'Scam Alerts'

The PBS series MoneyTrack will place Scam Alert videos on MSN Money each week, as an ongoing series to warn people about the pitfalls of the financial world.

From neighborhood homeowners to professional football players, no one gets a free pass from the grifting scum who live to take advantage of others. Until the happy day arrives when these creeps receive a one-time appointment with a greased and sharpened guillotine blade, people must rely on themselves to thwart these scamsters.

(For those of you horrified at the prospect of beheading career criminals, pretend it's a rubber blade that'll bounce on impact and give onlookers a hearty chuckle. Everyone else, feel free to suggest which content network should host the streaming vids of the punishment being meted out.)

To help people recognize when someone besides the oil companies and the taxman may be robbing them of hard-earned wages, a new video series on MSN Money has quietly grown into a solid property for Microsoft's web endeavors. We talked with Jolley in December 2007 about MSN Money's aims for multimedia and other topics; find that discussion
