US Disadvantaged Industries is not a scam.  It is a legitimate business that tele-markets discount-store type goods at a considerable mark-up.  You will very likely get what you pay for delivered eventually.  The person beseeching your purchase will thank you to know you are supporting disadvantaged persons such as themselves.  I have purchased and received a fire extinguisher and a flag.  I could have purchased either at a local retail outlet saving more than half the price.  So, as a sow learner, I figure, I should just give the excess amount to the fund of my choice locally.  I would be happy to deal with this company, if they simply operated on a reasonable profit margin as an actual retailer, rather than a thinly-veiled appeal to your guilt induced desire to help the disadvantaged.
