The little plastic card we call electronic money is convenient and safer to carry around than those wads of cash. Or so we thought…Credit card theft and pretexting has become more rampant in the past years. In the United States alone, where majority of the people have at least one credit card, almost 50% of cardholders report that cards were opened in their names, or that their cards were stolen. The signature is an important specimen in validating the ownership of a card. It is also important to show a picture ID (preferably with the same signature) to the cashier for every transaction made. This will help the cashier to further verify the cardholder’s identity. If your signed card is stolen, the card thief will have to forge your signature before he can use it. And since the signature panel is tamper-evident, he will have a difficult time convincing the cashier, that he was a victim of pretexting, when the signature and his picture ID are checked. There are some people, however, who refuse to sign their cards because they think it would be safer. But it’s not really a valid reason because all it would take for the thief to do is sign the card and make a fake ID with the same signature, and then he’s off to his shopping spree! And what’s even worse is that if an unsigned card gets stolen, the cardholder may be held liable for it because he did not affix his signature at the back!Credit card companies have their own reasons for requiring signatures, to avoid pretexting, the same way that cashiers have when they ask for your picture ID’s. Complying with these requirements will save you a lot of trouble and money wasted.

It will come as no surprise to those investing in land that achieving planning permission on a UK land site is where lies the most lucrative investment land returns, but there are other ways to make money from a land investment, writes Alex Way.

As a very broad guide, UK land which is reclassified for residential development within the UK land planning framework rises tenfold in value (ie land with planning permission is worth ten times more than a similar piece of land without planning permission). As such few other assets have the same capital growth potential as investment land. That is not to say that the average land investment returns 1000% to investors since to achieve growth on that scale from buying land would require that you undertake the project from start to finish yourself.

And many, if not most, people investing in land with a view to taking it through the land planning framework will need to employ somewhere down the line the services of UK land specialists, whose expertise does not necessarily come cheaply. However it is entirely possible to achieve investment land returns of the order of 350-600% because land developers are opening-up their projects to private investors.

The latter in effect provide partial land development funding to these firms in return for which those investors receive a pro rata proportion of the new value of the development land with planning permission. For the purposes of this article we will set to one side this fairly recent phenomenon (recent in the UK, at least - private land development finance is a well-established practice in the US), in order to consider other ways of profiting from investment land.
