Today's Terms
Counterfeit Drugs
Definition:
Pay attention to packaging. Check for altered or unsealed containers, or changes in the packaging or label. If you know the size shape, color, and taste of the medications you take, you will more easily identify possible counterfeits.
Loan Scams
Definition:
Before you sign on the dotted line, get all of the loan terms in writing, including the payment schedule and interest rate. If the lender isn't familiar to you, contact your state banking department and ask how to confirm that it's licensed and operating properly.
Investment Scams
Definition:
Steer clear of “offshore investments.” These are often promoted as a way to avoid taxes. Actually, you are still liable for taxes, and the investments themselves are usually very risky
