Get this scenario:

You're walking along. A friendly stranger is walking next to you. Out of the blue, the stranger punches you!

You didn't see it coming. It hurts. It's a sucker punch...

That's the opening scene in the radically new "Sucker Punch" video. Sucker Punch is our new online FoolProof Solo module on the rotten things most credit card companies do to young people.

Or what about this scene?

That money you borrowed to buy that sweet bike? They know you paid on time...
That PEZ® shirt you bought on eBay? They know you paid on time...

Your cell phone bill last month? They know you paid late!

What's the consequence? Trouble! Check out the video in Solo's "Kick Some Buck!" module.

Or this?

I was one day late on a payment... I was one cent overdrawn at the bank... I got one too many credit cards...

What happens next? How about being tied to a tree? Find out what that means in Solo's module called "Breathing Without Air!"

And check this: You can now throw away $100 cashing a check! And $3,500 getting a roommate! Or throw away $9,300 buying a car!

There's video footage to prove it all. All scams and rip-offs unfold in the new FoolProof Solo!

Nine young people from seven countries have spent the last 4 months making these videos for you. Young people like Sylvester.

Sylvester moved from Uganda to Denmark when he was just 14. Turning 16, he moved into his own pad.

How did he do that? Check out Sylvester's video bio on FoolProof Solo! And be sure to check out his reggae tunes, too...

You need to do this for you, nobody else. Head to FoolProof Solo.

Good luck!

Cheers, Will
