The fight against predatory sales tactics continues. Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum and E. Douglas Beach, secretary for the state's Department of Elder Affairs, issued a consumer advisory to inform Florida seniors and their families about "free lunch" seminars that pressure seniors into buying products they don't need or are inappropriate, according to the Tampa Tribune.
"The last thing our seniors need during this economic climate when their retirement savings may be dwindling is an investment scam that further depletes that nest egg," McCollum told the paper. "Too many of our seniors are finding that these free meals can cost them dearly."
