SLAMMING
Definition:
The term used to describe what occurs when a customer’s long distance service is switched from one long distance company to another without the customer’s permission. Such unauthorized switching violates FCC rules.
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
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.
