Download or read book Don t Pay for a Promise written by John McHardy and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing out of a project to help the author deal with his own credulity, "Dont Pay for a Promise" is a treasure house of information distilled from hundreds of Government publications. These publications are constantly being revised and updated and the reader should consult them regularly for the latest facts. However, because each publication must stand on its own, there is a "patchwork" character to the material and finding answers for a particular situation can take time. By capturing the essence of these publications, John McHardy has created a powerful resource for anyone who has ever agonized over an offer that seems too good to be true. In 14 compact chapters, the book deals systematically with the diverse types and guises of consumer fraud, offering concrete advice on how to recognize and respond to each of them. The first chapter provides information common to all types of fraud and serves as a foundation for the rest of the book. The next eleven chapters then cover individual aspects of the subject. For example, Chapter 2 "Identity Theft" examines topics that range from simple theft to the less obvious hazards of automatic debit and electronic banking. A typical chapter begins with an outline of pertinent laws and regulations and continues with one or more sections on particular issues. For example, Chapter 3, arranges the broad subject of "Contests" into three separate sections. Within each section, the material is organized under a consistent set of paragraph headings. These include the "promise" (the scam or deceptive practice), warning signs that may distinguish it from a legitimate offer, and ways that consumers can protect themselves or at least minimize their losses. The book concludes with two chapters of reference material, Chapter 13 detailing the many organizations that can offer help in the fight against fraud and Chapter 14 containing the full text of FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule.

Download or read book Promise Me You Won t Let Me Fall written by Perri Forrest and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A girl. A guy. A one-night stand. Fate threw us together-twice. The first time was a vibe that led to some adult behavior...that neither of us would recall. The second time it was supposed to be a business transaction. That was it ... just business. But it ended up being something way more than that. It was souls mating. Energy. Yeah, that's how I would describe it. Two creatives drawn to each other on an indescribable level. One that shifted the foundation that I stood firmly on top of. After what I had gone through, my focus was on building empires and taking care of my amazing baby boy. I didn't want to say that I was at the point where I had sworn off men-but I guess you could say that I was at the point where I had sworn off men. Somehow, though, the universe knew what she was doing, because this man that I got... But then, there's the one I had-or should I say, the one that was for the streets. You remember him, right? Percy. Well, he's all in his feelings. You know what's crazy to me? How bent out of shape men get when the shoe is on the other foot. They talk reckless, they throw tantrums, try to paint us as hoes. Never owning up to the fact that if they hadn't fucked up a good thing, they wouldn't have shit to worry about. The formula is simple. Act right and you never have to tap into all those emotions. With everything he did, you'd think he would just accept defeat, and gone about his business. But nah, he had to go and do the unthinkable. And it's not just him either. Seems other individuals feel like they want to be up in business that doesn't pay them. I'm just trying to live my life... my new life; be problem, and drama free. But you can't go around trying to cause problems for other people's lives and expect it not to come to your front door to collect. I guess we'll just let the consequences begin...

Download or read book Insincere Promises written by Ian Ayres and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can a promise be a lie? Answer: when the promisor never intended to perform the promise. Such incidences of promissory fraud are frequently litigated because they can result in punitive damages awards. And an insincere promisor can even be held criminally liable. Yet courts have provided little guidance about what the scope of liability should be or what proof should be required. This book—the first ever devoted to the analysis of promissory fraud—answers these questions. Filled with examples of insincere promising from the case law as well as from literature and popular culture, the book is an indispensable guide for those who practice or teach contract law. The authors explore what promises say from the perspectives of philosophy, economics, and the law. They identify four chief mistakes that courts make in promissory fraud cases. And they offer a theory for how courts and practitioners should handle promissory fraud cases.
