The more I think about t his, the more upset I get. Can you imagine the people who have been taken advantage of on this deal? They even have financing available:
One Application, Multiple Loan Options
Loan amounts from $1,000 to $50,000
Rates as low as 3.99%*
12 Month Interest Free Loans*
No Pre-payment Penalty*
But the
real point I want to make is how corporate America is using social media to make a buck (and LOTS of them!)
Anybody can use this Marketwire website and make about any claim they want:
http://www.marketwire.com/
Note the name is so close to "Marketwatch," a reputable site. In fact, Marketwire somehow superimposes itself over a Marketwatch page, making it appear more authentic.
Is there anything we can/should do as patient advocates to draw attention to this hype? (I cannot take on another prooject right now, but some of you sure could do a good job).
