Avoid falling victim to scams and ripoffs

Scam: [to cheat, swindle or defraud for the purpose of quick profit]
Rip off: [an act of cheating or theft against another]
 
 
The harsh reality is we coexist in a hidden world of scam artists and street hustlers. These people are void of any remorse.  They are our neighbors, our friends and co-workers. Running scams and ripping people off every day, right under our noses.
None of us are safe yet, we all think “it wont happen to me”. However, 9 out of 10 people around the world fall victim to scams and ripoffs. Some never even realizing it.
From being short changed by a crafty cashier to lending a helping hand that ends up in tragedy, these con artists have every angle covered when it comes to scamming their victims. Even when steps are taken to prevent such acts of fraud, they come up with new ways to trick us.
Ask any police authority or fraud specialist and they will all tell you the most important factor in avoiding scams is awareness. If you educate yourself on how most of the common con-games and ripoffs work, you will learn how to identify scams and avoid them.
In order to help people protect themselves and their family, we have created a list of the most common scams to avoid. We hope that you take the time to explore the different aspects and methods used by the common con-artist. By doing so, you will greatly decrease your chances of being scammed and ripped off.

About The Equalizer

The Equalizer Group is not a part of or represent itself as a “law-firm”. Nor are we some type of “collection agency”. We are a victim advocacy organization. When a victim comes to us and tells us about their case we spend quite a bit of time investigating and looking into the merits of the matter. We then look into the backgrounds and names of the people who are reported to us or the company they own or represent. By the time we contact the offending party, we have already determined that what they did and how they did it was unjust.
