There have always been salesmen or pitchmen knocking on our doors. If we could go back in time, they were probably knocking on caves trying to sale something. While sales are a necessary evil, consumers most now more than ever be wary of sales pitches.
The truth of the matter is simple, if it sounds too good to be true, then it's a rotten deal to begin with. In today's economy, most of us can't afford to be taken by some smooth talking pitchman. They make it sound cheap and easy and so affordable. But what really happens when the bill comes?
If you buy something or elect to receive a service from someone, make sure you get everything in writing. Don't pay up front, make sure the job is completed. Be sure to have a phone number and address that really works. Talk to the Better Business Bureau, check their references, and talk to your neighbors.
We have to be smart with our money, now more then ever. So be careful, ask questions and make sure that you get all your questions answered. BUYER BEWARE!
