Con Games


State Attorney General offices alert their citizens to con games and scams and provide educational material aimed at helping their citizens recognize some warnings that a solicitation might be a scam. Consider some of the red flags:

Con artists pressure potential victims to make a decision right away with no time to think it over. If you hesitate, the opportunity will be lost with no second chance.

Con artists pressure potential victims into paying for the service and/or providing sensitive personal information without providing a written contract.

Con artists deliver high pressure offers that promise high returns for no risk.

As BHO, his administration, and our Democrat Congress pitch their health care, climate change, and economic recovery proposals to the American people, do their techniques have a familiar ring to them?

The Indiana Attorney General site warns, "If you have any doubts, or if the offer made to you seems too good to be true, trust your instincts. Decline the offer and hang up immediately."
