Housewives Targeted by False Work Advertisements
Washington AP reports Edwin M. Lockard of the Baltimore Better Business Bureau warns housewives are a favored target of deceptive at home work ads. A Baltimore firm offered envelopes, claimed numerous affiliations, and promised 35 dollars a week for a few hours nightly, charging two dollars for mail list registration. After a postal probe the advertiser dissolved and letters were returned. The FTC concludes a two day session with 47 consumer groups to strengthen defenses against misleading advertising and deceptive sales practices.
