According to the dictionary a scam is “a dishonest scheme; a fraud.”
When you think of scams you usually think of emails from Nigeria and blatant get rich quick schemes. Although these types of scams deceive consumers everyday, much more common are scams which are manipulative and not outright dishonest. Although the creator of a “mild scam” is not technically doing anything wrong, they are still stealing your money.
SmartMoney made a point that purposefully confusing contracts and commercials are made to trick consumers into making a purchase. These scams occur all the time and are not reported by the media. So, the next time you sign on the dotted line or buy something, use your intuition.
