Carshield fraud

[JillL202705]

So disappointed to see AARP promoting Carshield when the FTC called the company out just this summer (see link below) for not being fully honest and transparent about their "service" contracts.  C'mon AARP, we expect must better of you!

I totally agree! I came here to create a post on my disappointment with AARP for promoting Carshield in the guise of quiz! I told my wife that AARP associating with Carshield is much worse than the celebrities who promote it when they need a little cash. AARP decision-makers, please reconsider this one!

Where did you see that AARP is promoting CarShield?

Take a look at:  https://www.aarp.org/brandamp/carshield-quiz/

It is paid content from CarShield and includes a link at the end to buy their product.

So much for telling members that they are always looking out for OUR best interest. They are just looking for whoever pays them the most royalties. Look at the CEO's salary. Not really wanting to donate anymore. Same with the Red Cross. They don't have $ for Americans, but are in S. America giving instructions as to how to get to the US and how to suck all the gov. help they can without ever having paid any taxes. (P.S. I'm Hispanic)

You do know that there are various divisions of the Red Cross.

Here, they are the AMERICAN RED CROSS and in other parts of the world, they are the INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS.

The whole network is called GLOBAL RED CROSS

There is also the RED CRESCENT

There are three parts of the global Red Cross network. Each has its own individual status and exercises no authority over the others.

Yes, I know. I've lived in Europe and MX and traveled extensively. In Muslim countries it's called the Red Crescent. Yes, it's the AMERICAN Red Cross giving the laminated instructions. You might want to send them your address so that you can host these lovely "visitors." (Have you ever wondered why some countries are called Third World? It certainly is because of their people)
