    There is this really cool segment that shows with the evening news where I live in Columbus, Ohio. It is called Six On Your Side. It is produced by ABC6 news and they have a team that investigates Fraud, waste, ways to save and more. One of the main things that they help with is to help people avoid being scammed by scrupulous contractors or just general handymen and so forth. They had this one clip that shows how they set up a minor electrical problem that needed to be fixed and then they would call various Electricians to come and assess the situation and quote a price for it to be fixed. Some of the Electrician were honest enough to charge only a small fee according to the small problem. But there were some Electricians that knew that the problem was small and an easy fix and should not cost much at all but yet they significantly overpriced the job anyway. Six on your side dot com would catch them in the act of trying to rip people off and blow the whistle on them. It is a nice clip to watch because you get to be more aware of the possible cons that may be out there. Check it out for your area to see if there is a show like that also in your area.
