Charity Scams
Definition:
If you’re approached by an unfamiliar charity, check it out. Most states require charities to register with them and file annual reports showing how they use donations. Ask your state or local consumer protection agency how to get this information.
Bogus Invoices
Definition:
Con artists send bogus invoices for what appear to be phone directory listings or for office supplies that were never ordered or delivered, hoping that no one will check before paying them.
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.
