Friendly 2.0 Saturdays here on the answer
with this week's Tech Wednesday.
3
:
As we continue forward into the holiday
shopping season,
4
:
we are seeing a number of new scams
pop up and some replace on some old ones.
5
:
We've already talked about this
a couple of times,
6
:
but there's some new twists out there
that you need to be aware of.
7
:
One thing that we're seeing
is really something that's been around
8
:
for a long time.
9
:
The idea of, would you like to buy a watch
from a man on the street corner?
10
:
We're seeing the same type of thing pop up
in parking lots at some of the big box
11
:
retailers, mostly electronic stores
or that type of a thing.
12
:
You go in
and somebody is in the parking lot selling
13
:
something at a price
that is too good to be true.
14
:
And it turns out it is.
15
:
They're very good at what they do.
16
:
And if you buy the product from them,
you'll be out $500 or so.
17
:
And this is usually audio
equipment projectors that type of thing.
18
:
What do you get at home.
19
:
You will get a device, but it's not going
to be what you were expecting.
