PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS

  
 

Public Service Announcements (PSA) are designed to quickly inform about how to prevent the public from being Scammed, Defrauded and Conned by crooks.”  

You may be too busy to scour the Internet or read articles on the wide array of crooked actions taking place. Most people probably feel it can’t happen to them. Others may feel if they don’t have a lot of money no one will go after them; neither assumption is true. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to combat predators who work behind the scenes through mail, TV, email and telephone to get at your money and indirectly affect your health. These crooks are professional, good at what they do.

 The PSA’s address the subjects from a “Characteristic” standpoint rather than concentrating on a specific crooked action most popular at the time. This gives you the tools to understand the widest range of actions which should be taken.
