If a government agency calls and tells you to pay a time or you'll face jail time, it can be frightening. You might even make a reckless decision out of fear, just to make the problem disappear. Many victims have done the same, turning over their financial information to fraudsters hoping to prey on their distress.

If there's one word on your mind this week, it's probably tariffs. Last week, President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on foreign goods imported into the US, setting the stage for a global trade war and stoking fears of a recession. A blanket 10 percent tariff on all imports kicked off on Saturday, April 5, with additional reciprocal tariffs on 60 countries to take effect by April 9. It's a wildly dynamic situation that's changing by the day, but you might wonder how this affects you. The fir

Embattled carmaker Tesla is sitting on almost 2,400 unsold Cybertrucks, worth roughly $200 million. It's a harsh reality check. According to its latest — and eighth — recall issued last month, the carmaker has only sold around 46,000 of the divisive pickup trucks so far, despite a $7,500 tax credit. That's a far cry from the over 1 million pre-orders the company gloated over years ago. And those currently in possession of one are often struggling to get rid of them. As Electrek reports, Tesla
