Outsmart Scammers: Don’t Be Fooled By False Advertising

As Americans struggle to stay afloat during these tough economic times, it seems everyone is scaling back on their purchases. But sometimes, you come across a deal on a product with an offer that seems too good to refuse. Unfortunately, scammers are out in full force to take advantage of shoppers searching for deals and often making offers that are too good to be true.

Whether pulling the old bait and switch, or offering miracle cure-all products, false advertising is illegal. We have some great advice here at the AMW Safety Center from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to help you recognize these false claims, and what you can do to protect your wallet against them.
