Consumer Protection Tips Minimize

NEVER put an ad in the paper looking for household help.

Do not respond to all of the inserts that come with your bills -- the small print may have you committing to long-term contracts that cost you money.

Avoid e-mail solicitations that promise coupons, etc.

Be careful about allowing employees in your home access to your checkbook or credit cards (even if you have implicit trust in them).
