Shame! Scandal! Right Here!

FoolProof's Hall of Shame gives you info on companies that claimed to love people, but ended up messing with people in some dodgy way instead.

Why are we telling you this? We want to inject you with a big dose of healthy skepticism!

The most honest seller is not going to tell you what's wrong with their product or service. Their job is to sell you, whether it's good for you, or not.

Your job: To stop-and-question anyone who wants to impact your money or your well-being.
