Involved are essential services and products, and the approach generally appears to be both helpful and honest. But the Better Business Bureau and other protectors.of the buyer warn that millions ollars are being mulcted | from unsuspecting customers with- ‘out their even becoming suspicious. | WIDE RANGE OF COME-ONS | The schemers don’t have to try | [to sell Brooklyn Bridge or make |an old lady withdraw her life savings lto cover some allegedly “found” |money that will be shared with her. i ‘Today's extortions take place in a .

Frequently they are direct- led at the 18 million senior citizens | whose incomes may be low but whose bank accounts are too often just big enough to be vulnerable. Heating, plumbing, and house re- pair proposals should never be ac- . cepted. from strangers without a complete investigation of the pres- tige of the companies involved. Far too commonplace is ‘the furnace | “renovation” that finds the unit a “fire hazard”. A new furnace cost- | ing several hundred dollars is sug- gested.

STORE LOSS-LEADERS SOMETIMES BAIT Irking the Better Business Bureau in many areas is a retail strategy including ads offering fantastic bar- gain prices for brand merchandise. When the customer arrives, he is shunted away from the proffered article by one excuse or another. Far more expensive merchandise is demonstrated, with a big special on how much better it is than the ad- vertised product. So many unwilling customers have been hooked this way that educational TV has been showing films to teach the guileless or the weak-willed how to: avoid being bilked. This sort of thing also goes on in some frozen-meat centers. Adver- tising ridiculously low prices for beef, for example, can end up in clever diversion of customers to far more expensive cuts. Then, too, many buyers find that they pay regular supermarket prices— or higher—for meat after the “hang- ing weight” has ‘been slashed by boning and fat removal. Some cus- tomers have reported that they end- ed up paying more than $1 a pound for beef cuts that included hamburg. WATCH OUT FOR WORK-AT- HOME AND MAIL-ORDER GYPS Beware of the glamorous ads that tell you how to go into the mail- order business or how to. make things at home that you can sell for a fortune, usually to the com- pany doing the advertising. Here again the Better Business Bureau advises against responding to any glittering claims, particulaly when EASTMAN KODAK Vv FILM Black and White and Kodacolor 12 EXPOSURE ROLL — MINIMUM 9 PRINTS 8 EXPOSURE ROLL — MINIMUM 6 PRINTS With Like Film Left Here for Processing « EVANS #DRUG STORE PRESCRIPTION PHARMACY 675-3366 — SHAVERTOWN — 674-4681 you must send money to find out 120 - 121 makes it the cleanest, heati SWEET Scrubbed Clean : to burn hotter..; ® Gulf Solar Heat’ Every drop of Gulf Solar Heat® heating oil is hydrogen-cleaned.

There have been instances where customers have bought expensive machines for turning out textiles, novelties, or clothing, with the promise that the company will buy the results. More often than not, fault is found with the customers product; all that the firm cared about was unloading the costly machine. There is no riper field for “pad- ding the bill than auto service. One prevalent gimmick of some quick- buck garages is to offer a tune-up or a special overhaul for such a pittance that it is difficult to re- sist. Then, once the car is in the staton, it is simple for the workman to find a few other things that need repair since he “had the hood up.” Best way to avoid ‘this trouble is to belong to an association such as the AAA or the ALA and have your jobs done at their recommended agencies. The association lawyers will often fight back if you report serious overcharges or work done that you did mot agree to in iad- vance.
