The
fact that there are so many synonyms for "scam" should tell
you something. For consumers, danger lurks around every corner --and
every cash register. So don't spend another dime until you read the
book The Savvy Consumer by 13-time
Emmy award-winner Elisabeth Leamy. As a long-time consumer and investigative
reporter, Elisabeth has exposed fraudulent deals that cost customers
thousands. She's confronted con artists and put criminals behind bars.
In other words, she's seen it all so you don't have to!
The
Savvy Consumer shows readers
how to spar with car salesmen, how to avoid paying crooked mechanics,
and ways to bargain down closing costs when you buy a house. Elisabeth
explains how to keep a mover from holding your belongings hostage and
what your rights are if you're a renter. She reveals the single step
that makes collection agents go away and easy ways you can instantly
improve your credit score. Want to find unclaimed money? Bid for bargains
at a government auction? Make telemarketers stop calling and junk mail
stop coming? Do you know what the most common scams are and how to avoid
them? It's all in The Savvy Consumer,
along with more than a hundred other topics that can save you thousands
of dollars.
Elisabeth's
scam-busting, money-saving knowledge is packed into 328 pages and published
by Capital
Books. The book is organized so that you never have to
read more than a couple pages to get the essentials you need on a particular
topic. Elisabeth tells you the signs to look out for, the questions
to ask, how to do your homework, and where to complain.
In January 2010 Elisabeth’s second book, SAVE BIG: Cut Your Top 5 Costs and Save Thousands” was published. It’s all about how to save tens of thousands of dollars on the big stuff instead of giving up your daily latte and life’s other little pleasures. (Click here for more information)
