May 7,9,14,1975) by Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott Over the last fifteeen months I have discussed a number of consumer frauds and suggested ways in which we can avoid becoming fraud victims. Usually, the types of frauds discussed have fallen into categories: auto repair frauds, home repair schemes, and so forth. I But today I want to remind you that there are many, many other forms of fraud which are more difficult to categorize. And with this in mind, I'd like to offer a "primer" on fraud danger signals. f Most frauds prey on our ignorance. Tne average con­ sumer knows little about auto repairs ana little about home repairs. The average consumer knows little about the in­ tricacies of buying land and little about the whole money investment picture. And the average consumer knows sadly little about his rights under the law. v And, finally, the average consumer is basically honest, and he figures everybody else is too. Most of us tend to trust each other. Most of us don't like to admit our ignorance in certain areas. Most of us are afraid to ask questions - afraid to challenge someone who looks like he knows what he's talking about and would treat our "simple" questions with disdain. And many of us don't have lawyers. We think of lawyers as Perry Masons who try criminal cases or as people who write out our last will and testament. There is a lot an v attorney can help us with that' falls between wills and criminal jury trials. Taking into account all the above, a good number of consumers are "ripe" for the fraudulent businessman. And, since most of us won't learn auto repairs, financial markets, or law . . . and since most of us will go right on basically trusting each other...here is some basic advice. 1. Don't rush into any deal. Take your time. You have that right. Something you may think you need desperately on Friday morning under the spell of a high pressure salesman, you may realize is an unnecessary luxury Friday afternoon when you notice how much Johnny's teeth really do need straightening. THINK THROUGH the way you spend your money. 2. Don't sign anything without reading it thoroughly and understanding it. If you don't understand it, ask questions 'til you're sure you do. If you still doi$ understand it - either don't sign and forget it, or wait until you ean consult an attorney. In Illinois, each citizen legally has three full business days in which to cancel for full refund any contract signed or return in original condition any item purchased in an unsolicited sale - for example, a door-to- door sale in which the salesman and not th^consumer initiated the contact. The value of the contract or sale covered under this law must be at least $25.00. If you do choose to cancel a contract or return an item in accordance with this law, it is strongly suggested you do so by registered mail as well as by telephone. At the time of the sale, the salesman should have furnished you with a "Notice of Cancellation" informing you of your rights to cancel and in­ cluding the seller's address or phone number at which such notice caft be given. This is law. 3. Deal only, when at all possible, with established businessmen who you know personally or by reputation. Check with your friends and neighbors to find satisfied customers. 4. Read the fine print in all advertisements. The picture and the price in bold face type don't always coincide. 5. Be very cautious of dealing with close personal friends. You may get a "super" deal. But what happens if something goes wrong? Will you have the courage to complain, even when you are in the right? 6. Compare shop. Don't take the first opportunity that comes down the pike. Check sales - but check the "sale" item's guarantee and be sure the dealer is reputable. 7. Check all warranties and guarantees. Ask questions if you want: "Who repairs it?" "Do I have to mail it, or is it picked up by the store?" "What is the average length of time on repairs?" "Can I deal with you (the store of purchase), or do I have to go to the manufac­ turer?" \ 8. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 9. Just because an ad is in a respectable news publication doesn't mean the dealer placing the ad is reputable. Unfortunately, a lot ot disreputable and borderline- disreputable dealers advertise in reputable publications. And until these dealers are con­ victed of actual fraud and ordered not to do business in this state again, the old adage^ U&a&fXeeH, Agency Drugs y JhtisVaSm HARDWARE STORES RUSSELL STOVER ASSORTED CHOCOLATES $2 35 1 Lb.

Don't be afraid to display your "ignorance" in certain areas. You are not alone! Don't be afraid to ask questions: Don't be afraid to hire an at­ torney if necessary. And don'! stop trusting people-- but be cautious. An honest salesman will respect you more if he knows you are a cautious buyer. , Remind Teachers To Save Student Art Work Art Fair chairman, Miss Greta Martin, and registration chairman, Mrs. Karen Gemell, look over 1975 McHenry Country Art Fair registration forms. With the dates of the nineteenth Annual McHenry Art Fair set for June 20, 21 and 22, teachers are reminded to begin saving children's art work now. Since the show dates are after school closing dates, all county art teachers are urged to call Mrs. M.J. Martin, 1501 W. Channel Beach, McHenry, to make arrangements for storage or delivery of the works. The Children's division of the Fair is an important showplace for beginning artists, and gives them the early exposure to competition and the ability to see what other artists of their age groups are doing. Parents are also urged to save items and contact Mrs. Martin. Works need not be framed, but must be labeled with the child's name, school and grade level. A best of show ribbon plus a $10 cash award and exhibitor ribbons are given. Other county artists and photographers are reminded that registration has begun. Forms will be mailed to previous exhibitors, and anyone who wishes to exhibit may write for registration forms to Country Art Fair, 4313 New Hampshire Trail, Crystal Lake, or to Photography Show, 1311 Fairview Lane, McHenry. Entry deadlines are June 1.
