State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says as you prepare to spend your hard earned dollars
beware of misleading bargains and added fees, compare warranty terms, know the terms
of a layaway plan, check return and refund policies,
beware of restricted gift cards, shop only on secure Internet connections, do not be tricked by confusingly
similar website and domain
names, protect yourself by using credit cards, be wary
of too - good - to - be-true contests and prize promotions, and read the fine print.
