text: why do people take advantage of woman and how can it be stopped? i bought a truck from a dealership and everything from the contract, to the loan and also the condition of the truck was bad. i buy a bracelet for my boyfriend at christmas time and the jewelry store gets me financing for part of it and than charges my charge card for the whole amount. 1. people take advantage of everyone not just women.  2. the truck salesman may have been dishonest, but it was your fault too. you should never buy a used auto without getting your own mechanic to check it out first. you should never sign a contract or loan agreement without understanding them. you should not buy from a dealer without checking with the bbb  3. the bracelet charge was fixed i hope.  4. report the auto dealer to the bbb   you have to be a careful and educated consumer these days.
