Invoice scams: 5 tricks fraudsters use to get your money

It's only natural, therefore, that people are suspicious about possible side effects from devices that emit a form of radiation.

We will NOT address whether or not microwave ovens are (or can be) dangerous -- but we will tackle two specific microwave legends making the rounds.
