WIDOWS ARE EASY
PREY — OR ARE THEY?
Widows must be wary of frauds
and schemes. C.O.D. deliveries for
clothing, appliances, expensive fish-
ing tackle or "telephone ordered"
merchandise and subscriptions are
suspect and need not be honored
by the widow in most instances.
We have seen published an ac-
count of one wise widow who was
approached by a publisher’s
"representative" who wished to in-
clude her late husband in a scien-
tists’ Who’s Who” book. The text
would be $500 and the inclusion of
a photo brought it to 1750.
The widow agreed to meet with
the representative at a certain place,
date and time.. .during office
hours a her lawyer’s place of
business! Having a lawyer expose
the fraud neatly saved the widow
more than just anxiety and an-
noyance — it saved her $750!
Professional counselling at law or
funeral direction is important to
bereaved families. We are pleased
to be of service — professionally, in
our area of expertise. Call or, stop
by for information before the need
arises.
