1. Know who you are dealing with. Don't do business with any company that won't clearly provide its name, street address, and telephone number.

2. Protect your personal information. Share credit card or other personal information only when buying from a company you know and trust.

3. Take your time. Resist any urge to "act now" despite the offer and the terms. Once you turn over your money, you may never get it back.

4. Know the risks. Every potentially high profit investment is high risk. That means you could lose your investment — all of it.

5. Read the small print. Get all promises in writing and review them carefully — especially the ones in small print — before making a payment or signing a contract.

6. Never pay for a "free" gift. Throw away any offer that asks for payment for a "free" gift. If it's free or a gift, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Free is free.

7. If you think you have been a victim of fraud, report it. If you are a victim of fraud, there is a way for you to get even with the scam artists who cheated you. By reporting your complaint to ftc.gov or 1-877-FTC-HELP, you will provide important information that can help law enforcement officials track down scam artists — and stop them!

The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them.
