Verify Before You Buy!

In today's economic times, the door has opened for unscrupulous people to invent new and exciting ways to present their offers as opportunities.  Unfortunately, many times these "offers" or "opportunities" are unsolicited, fraudulent and are being offered by persons who are not legally licensed to do business in the state of Florida.  We are seeing examples of these fraudulent "offers" in all types of business transactions -- from prescription drug savings plans, to loan or investment opportunities, to health insurance coverage, even automobile and home warranties.

You are encouraged to refer to the web pages and brochures linked below to learn more about how you can protect yourself from these predators
