from A Thought For Your Pennies · host Shawna and Sqeaky

Do you ever buy stuff that is "As Seen on TV"? It's always a scam...right? The clapper, the snuggie, the slap chop, the george foreman, the sham wow! We get into this, as well as discussing various scams targeting people who are dealing with ADHD, the impact of marketing on consumer behavior, and the importance of understanding subscription services and auto-renewals. Our conversation also highlights recent consumer protection regulations, including the click-to-cancel rule, aimed at simplifying the cancellation process for consumers.
