In an understated tone the TPS advises the public that: "our advice is NOT to pay them". TPS also lists the websites of these organisations many of which target related searches on Google with ads that seek to divert visitors from the TPS website to their own cash-collecting sites.

Famous quotes containing the words companies, charging and/or service:

    In the U.S. for instance, the value of a homemaker’s productive work has been imputed mostly when she was maimed or killed and insurance companies and/or the courts had to calculate the amount to pay her family in damages.

    Golda Meir (1898–1978)

    In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.
