Watchdog Nation “Tougher ‘n a junkyard dawg”

Dave Lieber’s Watchdog Nation receives mail, mail and more mail every day from folks who have problems and want to learn how to solve them. This is one of our favorites that arrived at Watchdog Nation World Headquarters this week.

 Dear Brother Dave (aka “Tougher ‘n a junkyard dawg”):

 It is well-imagined that all your postal mail, your e-mail and your received phone calls begin with, “Dave, I’ve got a problem, and I want you to spend your time/energies/ and all your remaining resources toward arriving at a resolution.”

 This letter, though, is the exception!

 Dave Lieber's Watchdog Nation: Bite Back When Businesses and Scammers Do You Wrong

Ever since you responded to my “Dave, I’ve got a problem” letter several months ago, I’ve since felt a very close connection to “The Watchdog” and look forward every Sunday morning to reading about your resolution of other folk’s problems in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

 The “resolutions” are general in nature, and as such they benefit not only the one who request your monumental effort — but they further aid those who’ve had similar problems, or may be confronted with them in the future.

 But of course, not everyone enjoys reading “The Watchdog.” Not everyone you say!?!

 Well, the con/scam/bunco “artists” don’t enjoy it, and I think it is safe to say that many of them (if not all) have been “run out of Dodge” because of your having revealed their attempt to “separate us gullible old fools from our meager (cash) holdings.”

 So once again, this hard-scribbled letter is but meant to serve as a GIGANTIC and heartfelt thank you for all that you have done/are doing/and will continue doing for all of us “everyday/average” folks who (too often) are being “stepped on” by the big bully ner-do-wells with their “get rich quick schemes.”

 With sincere respect and admiration,

 Rod Hale

Glen Rose, Texas

 PS I already know the quality of your heart, and as such, a response to this letter is not necessary. Have a coffee break instead, OK?!

Dear Rod,

Response unnecessary? Surely, you jest. What a wonderful, touching piece of writing that we will treasure always.

Dave

Dave Lieber's popular new Watchdog Nation book saves people money!

Watchdog Nation was founded by Dave Lieber

The site describes Watchdog Nation this way: “If a company or politician is doing something crooked, you can bet Watchdog Nation will report it here.”

The site also states: “Businesses, generally speaking, exist for the sole purpose of making money. While many of the products and services they provide often actively benefit consumers, others put profit over their safety, health and overall well-being. Lucky for shoppers, loads of resources out there can help protect them from these unscrupulous and irresponsible companies.

 “Whether you’re a student trying to save money, a parent who wants to ensure your children’s toys are safe or just a buyer seeking the best values, consumer advocacy blogs provide a great conduit to research information protecting you from fraud and injury. While there are a plethora of great sites out there, we’ve listed a few here that we think are great resources. Visit them and start learning how to stand up for your rights as a consumer, enjoy better prices and find out what laws protect you from bad business.”
