Consumers Will Learn the Key Elements of a Scam to Avoid Disastrous Purchases
Consumer Investigator Dale Cardwell’s robust career of exposing crooks brings us a culmination of that knowledge in his debut book, Don’t Get Scammed: Get Smart! Coming off the heels of reporting on the tumultuous case of crooked former DeKalb County Sheriff Sidney Dorsey and the murder of his successor, Derwin Brown, Dale moved away from conventional TV reporting in 2007 with a heightened desire to safeguard citizens from scammers and corruption. Witnessing such blatant deception by public officials throughout his career made Dale realize that he could make a bigger impact. In 2009, he created TrustDALE, a free online research and referral site that helps consumers find reputable, honest businesses. Today, he has set his sights on arming the public even further with his new book. Don’t Get Scammed: Get Smart! is a comprehensive and consumer-friendly handbook that shares his seven-step strategy to avoiding swindlers and thieves.
Don’t Get Scammed: Get Smart! is written with prevention in mind. “The goal is for fewer people to end up on the wrong side of the story,” Dale explains.
