Where to find the hidden cost of ‘FREE’

The quote “There’s a sucker born every minute,” has long been attributed to P.T. Barnum, however, it’s now known that he was not the true originator of those sentiments. No matter the source, the world is indeed full of suckers who believe in the credo that “free” really exists … and crooks who feast on the pocketbooks of those who believe somebody actually wants to give them something for nothing.
