BEWARE OF THESE SCAMS

ANYTHING FREE

If you’re not paying for it then you’re not the consumer.

You’re the product.

LIFELOCK

As the CEO himself can explain, nobody can protect

you from hackers completely. They just can’t.

BOTTLED WATER

You’re paying for plastic.

BRAND NAME PAINKILLERS

Generics and store brands are chemically

indistinguishable. But whatever makes you feel better.

PRIVATE, FOR PROFIT COLLEGES

You can definitely get that education somewhere else

for cheaper. And if you can’t, then you most likely don’t need it.

"FREE" FINANCIAL ADVISORS

If they’re not charging you, they’re working for

commission.

PHONE CALLS FOR DONATIONS TO

THE LOCAL POLICE

If a charity calls you, it’s most likely a scam and the

intended recipients will only receive a small percentage

at best. You already support the police anyway

in your council tax.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

If something actually does happen…well, good luck

getting the insurance company to pay up.
