| Afraid of the SCAMS? GOOD! There are an amazing amount of scams going on with DIV. Here are some tips on avoiding these scams... |
| 1. Do not pay a company for a product you can not see. The company you are hiring to report your lost value should at least be able to send you a sample report. |


| Top Ten Ways to Avoid Scams... |
| 3. Do not consider a company that doesn't support their report by negotiating your claim or providing testimony in court (should the need arise.) Make sure that you have these commitments in writing. |
| 4. Do not consider a company that you do not first check with the Better Business Bureau. |
| 5. Anyone can have a flashy website. A good, profitable company will have Radio and TV ads as well. |
| 6. Any company that is effective at recovering DIV can give you a list of the law firms that rely on their services. |
| 7. Any company that is effective can provide you with a trial history showing their "wins" and "losses." |
| 8. Do not hire the "$99 special" companies. Like with anything else, you get what you pay for. Good companies, ones that will get your money, do not come cheap. You can spend $99 and get nothing! |
| 9. People with expensive cars will use these companies. Feel free to ask for the name and number of a local business owner that you can easily identify that has used their services. |
| 10. When you have all this info, CHECK THE COMPANY OUT! Make the calls! |
| 2. Do not contact or consider a company that does not put in writing the price that it is charging you for their services. |
