Quick Info

Always be on the lookout for signs of fraud or financial mismanagement: keep in mind the old adage that if something seems too good to be true it usually is.

Remember: The client has legal and financial rights to be dealt with in a fair and ethical manner. Never enter into any agreements over the telephone, at the door or in a business until sufficient thought has been given and advice is sought from a reliable source.
