Popular Tactics To Avoid
By preying on our insecurities, sly marketers get the information they’re really after. That’s why it’s important to proceed with caution if:
- It sounds too good to be true.
- You’re asked to send personal or financial information before they disclose an offer.
- You’re promised a valuable prize in return for a low-cost purchase.
- You’re pressured to send money to take advantage of a deal.
- You’re required to send money as a condition of obtaining a loan.
- You’re asked to call a special number. The number is often a long-distance call that results in you being billed at a costly rate per minute.
- You’re asked to invest in schemes. Don’t spend your savings without carefully checking out the investment, product, service and investor.
