McDonald’s is planning to cut back on ad costs throughout the country.
The company works with around 60 creative agencies that handle marketing for its cooperative franchise groups across the U.S. According to an article in Advertising Age, it plans to cut that number down to 10 or fewer agencies.
The change is expected to provide a more regulated marketing message across the country, according to the article. Last year McDonald’s spent $1.46 billion on ads, making it the 33rd largest advertiser in the U.S.
Settlement
CVS has paid $5 million after an investigation into its record keeping of prescription drugs sold by CVS pharmacies in California.
An investigation began in 2012 after an increased number of thefts and unexplained losses of opioid pain medicines at CVS stores, Reuters reported Tuesday. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, pharmacies did not have effective procedures to guard against the thefts and disappearances between 2011 and 2013.
As part of the settlement, CVS acknowledged its record keeping was faulty during that time period.
Watch for scams
Scam artists posing as personnel from Indiana Michigan Power have been threatening to disconnect service unless an immediate payment is made.
The utility said that in some cases the scam artists have been able to falsely mask their phone number so that it appears to be I&M’s customer service number (800) 311-4634.
Scammers tell customers they are behind on their electric bill and need to purchase a debit card, load the card with money, then call an 800 number and provide the number from the card.
Anyone receiving such a call should hang up immediately and contact their local police then call the customer service number listed here to report the scam.
