Look at where you're finding these "programs." If you find a program that promises to get you out of debt and make you wealthy as part of an unsolicited email in your spam box or on a brightly colored website that looks like a late night infomercial, it's probably a scam---especially if there are pages of fine print that are hard to read due to the background color.

Avoid "guarantees." There is no guarantee in investing, and that's basically what these systems are doing. Anyone who makes a promise to make you wealthy is trying to sucker you into something. A promise isn't legally binding.

Read all the fine print. Not everyone is a lawyer, and some of what's in the fine print might confuse you, but that's where these programs are legally obligated to put the total cost of the system they're selling.

Ask around. If you find something that looks legitimate, search the Internet for reviews. If that doesn't work ask an accountant or a banker to see if what this program is offering is either possible or legitimate. It's hard to fool financial professionals with guarantees of wealth that are coming out of thin air.
