📚 **WEDNESDAY CONSUMER TIP**

**Don't Choose a Professional Based on Price Alone.**

When you're comparing professionals, the lowest price isn't always the best value—and the highest price doesn't guarantee the best service.

Before making a decision, consider:

🔎 **Experience** – Do they have experience with your specific needs?

📋 **Credentials** – Are their licenses and certifications current?

⭐ **Reputation** – What do their clients and professional peers say about them?

💬 **Communication** – Do they take the time to answer your questions?

🤝 **Integrity** – Do you feel they are genuinely looking out for your best interests?

A professional who charges a little more but provides excellent service, transparency, and peace of mind may ultimately be the better choice.

**Don't just compare prices. Compare value, experience, reputation, and trust.**

At NAOSA, we believe consumers deserve the information they need to make confident decisions—and ethical professionals deserve to stand out.

🚨 **SCAM ALERT MONDAY**

# # # 📬 **That Postcard in Your Mailbox May Be a Scam**

Scammers don't always call or email. Sometimes, they use **postcards and letters** designed to look official.

You may receive a postcard claiming you have:

💰 Won a prize or sweepstakes
🏠 An urgent issue involving your home
💳 A problem with your credit or account
📄 An important government or legal notice
🎁 A special offer that requires immediate action

The goal is often to get you to **call a number, provide personal information, or send money.**

**Protect Yourself:**

🚩 Don't assume something is legitimate because it looks official.

🔎 Verify the company or organization independently. Use a phone number or website you find yourself—not the contact information provided on the postcard.

💳 Never send money or personal information simply because a mailing tells you to.

⏳ **Don't let a postcard create a sense of urgency. Take your time and investigate.**

**Remember: Official-looking doesn't mean legitimate.**

Share this with an older adult, family member, or friend who could benefit from the reminder.

📚 **WEDNESDAY CONSUMER TIP**

# # # **Before You Hire a Professional, Check Their Credentials.**

A professional's website may look impressive. Their sales presentation may sound convincing. But **don't stop there.**

Before hiring someone to handle an important part of your life, take a few minutes to verify:

🔎 **Licenses & certifications** — Are they current and appropriate for the services they provide?

⭐ **Professional experience** — How long have they been in business?

📋 **Complaints & disciplinary history** — Are there issues you should know about?

🤝 **References & reputation** — What do other clients say about their experience?

💰 **Fees & services** — Do you understand exactly what you're paying for?

**A trustworthy professional won't be offended by questions. They should welcome them.**

Remember: **Doing a little research today can prevent a major problem tomorrow.**

At NAOSA, we believe consumers deserve accurate information and professionals who operate with **honesty, integrity, and transparency.**

📚 WEDNESDAY CONSUMER TIP

5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Professional

Whether you're choosing an attorney, financial advisor, home care provider, contractor, or other professional, don't be afraid to ask questions.

Before you hire, ask:

✅ What are your credentials and qualifications?

✅ Are you licensed or certified, if required?

✅ How long have you been serving clients like me?

✅ What are your fees, and are there any additional costs?

✅ Can you provide references or explain how I can verify your credentials?

A trustworthy professional should welcome reasonable questions—not pressure you to make a decision before you're ready.

Do your research. Ask questions. Verify. Then decide.

At NAOSA, we believe consumers deserve accurate information and access to professionals who value integrity, transparency, and ethical service.

🚨 SCAM ALERT MONDAY

Your Caller ID Can Lie.

Seeing a familiar name or phone number on your screen does not mean the caller is really who they claim to be.

Scammers can spoof caller ID to make a call appear to come from:

📞 Your bank
🏦 A government agency
👨‍👩‍👧 A family member
🏥 A healthcare provider
🏢 A business you know

Don't trust the number—verify the caller.

If someone calls unexpectedly and asks for money, personal information, passwords, or immediate action:

STOP. HANG UP. VERIFY.

Call the organization or person back using a phone number you already know is legitimate.

💡 Remember: A familiar caller ID doesn't make an unfamiliar request safe.

Share this reminder with someone you care about.
