There are so many on-line scams.  I wanted to alert anyone who buys medication online to a company that is somehow able to gain confidential information about your medical condition.  The company claims that its name is RxPills Pharmacy or RXPharmacy.  It’s phone number is 305-224-0227 and the purported email address is pillspharmacy@gmail.com.

Nothing that I can think of can be more wonderful or more dangerous than the internet.  Something most Americans had never heard of fifteen years ago now affects each of our lives.  Many questions have been raised about safety on the internet, and I think each of us has a different idea of what should be done.  Beginning in late January, the Senate will be voting on a bill known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA).  There is a sister bill in the house known as the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).  Both bills are aimed at shutting down piracy sites on the internet.  Whil

In driving on interstates recently, I saw many cars that failed to pull over like they were supposed
to do.  I hope that reminding others about two laws will prevent a traffic accident. 

Impeding the Inside Lane of Traffic is Unlawful:  Pull to the Right Lane

I frequently see vehicles that travel in the left or inside lane of traffic on multilane highways at five miles per hour or more below the speed limit.  Naturally, traffic behind the slow moving vehicle must slow down.

The Holidays are a busy time of the year.  We all are rushing around trying to finish our shopping, stock up on food and visit with family before the New Year arrives.   With all of the hustle and bustle comes the inevitable bombardment of phone calls, text messages and e-mails from friends, family and business associates.  Many of those come while we are driving. 
 

A client contacted me with a complaint about the You & Me Interactive Play & Giggle Triplet Doll set that was marketed as being appropriate for children.  Each of the dolls speaks.  You can imagine the horror of parents when they learned that one of the dolls says “ok, crazy b****.”  The client that contacted me reported that the child receiving the doll set repeated this phrase.  You can view a video that I put together at this link that shows exactly what the doll says: http://www.mccutchenandsexton.com/node/190

In Arkansas and Oklahoma, drivers must have liability
insurance to drive.We carry insurance
to pay for harm to others if we do something wrong that causes a wreck.Now, we all know that insurance
companies don’t like paying money.It’s hard enough to get them to pay what is due when the at-fault driver
accepts responsibility.But when
the at-fault driver makes excuses and puts blame on somebody else, what happens
is that the insurance company has a reason to not pay a valid claim.

When I am speaking with clients who have been involved in an auto collision and ask them what type of insurance coverage they carry, it is almost a certainty that they respond with “full coverage.” Unfortunately, I usually find that they are incorrect. Usually, these clients carry what is known as “collision” coverage which will help get your vehicle repaired or replaced after a vehicle. This does nothing to compensate you for an injury you suffer in a collision.

It’s not too often that I recommend to consumers that they purchase a book. One exception is Patrick Malone’s Book, The Life You Save: Nine Steps to Finding the Best Medical Care and Avoiding the Worst available online for about $16. The information used in this particular blog comes primarily from Mr. Malone’s work.

Scams! How can we trust anyone these days unless we regularly do business with them? 

In looking through the spam folder of an internet based email account that I have had since 1996, it appears as if I have won more than $10 million this week alone. That pales in comparison to more than $50 million that I am told that I won last month. 

Or how about the sweepstakes that I won last week. And all I have to do is cash the check that was sent to me and mail back the $2,500 “processing” fee to collect.
