Quick Consumer Tip

Don't buy under stress. Research suggests senior citizens, people in crisis
(e.g., coping with a death or debt), college students, small business owners,
minorities, and immigrants are especially at risk of being victimized. Avoid making
big-ticket purchases during times of duress.
