Watered down or fake alcoholic drinks

Some shady publicans water down their alcoholic drinks to increase profits. Also, some substitute cheaper brands of spirits like whisky or gin for the well known ones. Unless you are a connoisseur, you may think the first drink tastes a bit odd but after a couple you probably won’t notice a difference!!
Also, BEWARE, if you are offered cheap bottles of spirits from vans, on the street or at other places where spirits would not normally be sold. They could be fake and possibly dangerous.
Trading Standards Officers have, in the past, discovered fake bottles of the well known Stolichnaya brand of vodka being sold on pub car parks. When analysed, the dangerous vodka was found to contain 33% industrial methylated spirits - a lethal poison that can cause damage to human health and eyesight.
‘Special’ offers at the supermarket….

Some supermarkets charge more for goods at the checkout than the advertised shelf price. Special offers e.g. 2 for the price of 1, or ‘Buy 2 get 1 free’ may be promoted to persuade you to buy, but you don’t always get the price reductions at the till.
You may be in a hurry, but always check your receipt after you have paid for the goods to make sure that you are not overcharged. If you are, tell them immediately to prevent it from happening to other shoppers. And, if it happens regularly, tell us.
Rogue car dealers ….

- Buy cars - sometimes at auctions - with a high mileage and ‘clock’ them by turning back the odometer.
- They may forge the service history, using main dealer service stamps.
- They enter false information about previous owners or keepers on the log book and service record, to make it difficult for the new owner to check out the car’s mileage.
- They profit by ripping-off unsuspecting customers who are conned into buying over priced ‘clocked’ cars.
MONEY MAKING SCHEMES THAT COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR POCKET!
Posted on January 29, 2008

There are many different types of money-making scams which appear to be genuine and imply how easy it is to make lots of money. But money-making schemes that seem too good to be true usually are, and should be avoided.
Get rich quick schemes only work for the organiser, leaving others out of pocket.
Chain letter scams - usually ask you to send money, about £10, to the person at the top of a list of 6 people. You then add your details to the bottom of the list and send copies to around 200 randomly selected people.
If you are tempted to get involved in a chain letter scam you could enter into something that is likely to cost more in time, effort and money than you will earn from the scheme. Our advice is to rip it up and put it in the bin!
Money Gifting Schemes like ‘Women Empowering Women’
‘Women Empowering Women’ has received a lot of adverse publicity over the past year; it works like a chain letter and only women can take part. Participants are asked to give £3,000 to a member of a network (usually a family member or friend). In return, the new “investor” may expect to receive multiples of that amount, up to £24,000, as they progress though the network hierarchy.
To be successful, the scheme relies on a constant flow of new “investors”. However, the network eventually breaks down as the pool of new participants, with £3,000 to risk, dries up. When this happens those joining the scheme later stand a good chance of losing their original contribution, never mind any return.
Although you may have heard about people who claim to have made large amounts of money from schemes like this, there are thousands of unhappy people who joined the scheme and lost money.

Mock-Auctions or ‘One day Sales’…

are usually held at village halls or local hotels. Typically, leaflets, which are distributed immediately before the event, advertise clearance sales or stock liquidation. Normally the goods are shoddy or counterfeit and not the quality you are led to believe during the sales pitch or as advertised.
The organisers will also try to get the audience into ‘buying frenzy’ to make them purchase over priced goods in the belief that they are bargains.
A salesman standing on a platform usually offers the goods and payment is collected by assistants in the audience. Assistants also appear to pose as customers in order to lead the crowd on. At the end of some sales unscrupulous traders have been known to run off with the money leaving behind a very angry crowd and an abandoned, unsecured village hall.
