Beginners Intro to Consumer Scams

It's becoming increasing common for people to be targeted by con and scam-merchants, figures suggest around 28 million people in the UK have been the target of scams. Most of the common real world scams have now migrated to the Internet (usually in the form of emails and occasionally websites). The cons work by being professional; catching you unaware at home, on the phone, with forged logo's, leaflets and letters - being persistent, and, of course, persuasive to your desires. Always be sure never to rush into a decision and to research any company before you buy. If it seems too good to be true then it usually is.
