    Giving Rip-Offs the Kiss-Off

    1 / 11
    Shady credit card processors. Fly-by-night Web marketing "experts." Useless extended warranties. Bogus travel expenses. These and other classic rip-offs have one thing in common: They cost small businesses billions of dollars a year -- and they probably cost your business more than you realize. Even when they're legal -- and most of them are -- they're like a lead weight dragging down your company's bottom line. To help you fight back, we've called out the 10 worst offenders when it comes to typical small business rip-offs. Some of them may be familiar to you, but others probably aren't. The bad news is that we can guarantee you're losing money on these scams. The good news is that we'll show you how to fix these problems, and save big bucks in the process. -- Matthew McKenzie
