Lets face it everytime you turn these days someone is trying to get you to pick up the phone, buy this crappy product, support this cause and so on.

There are many “rip offs” that exist and a whole cottage industry coming up with these scams and implementing them.

Today Time Magazine posted a list of these scams and ways to avoid them.  Very interesting take on our society and the ingenious solutions that exist.

One of the rip offs that Time highlights is the “price of college text books.” This is a big one.  There are alternatives to buy used like at Amazon.  You can rent at Chegg.  But as Time states you can barter…or exchange…or swap @ Swaptree as well.

Cool mention for the leading swap site on the web.
