Think Twice Before Buying From These Social Media Ads
Free Trial Offers:
Many of these misleading advertisements tout celebrity
endorsements and promise a trial of the hottest new
skin care or nutritional supplement for the minimal
investment of shipping fees.
Before you sign up for these “limited time offers”,
research the company online, see if there are any other
consumer complaints, read the terms and conditions

Counterfeit Merchandise:
Name brand goods are prime targets for unauthorized
duplication, from sporting goods to designer apparel

items that are priced significantly lower than what
other retailers are charging, spelling and grammatical
