Okay, here's the updated ad, which incorporates all of your suggestions except two of them. Some sentences have been changed a bit. If any of these changes are outvoted, he'll gladly switch it back...

Questions/opinions from the designer:
1. Does ehrliche need to be capitalized? 

2. While adding a website can be useful, I don't know if it's the best idea:

a. I think that getting a URL like frumcreditproject.com or something will look very professional on the ad, but then when someone visits it and it redirects to a DDMS post I think we'll lose trust at that point because presumably people would go online thinking that we're some organization with a website and info of our own, and just get redirected to someone else's article.

b. Dan's article begins with talking about how amazing points and miles are, which is a great way to start with DD people but kinda off-topic for someone who might've just seen an ad offering $10k or a tuition break for signing up for credit cards. 

c. Like another DDFer said, Dan calls this "The latest scheme that people are falling for" and refers to it as a scam, which might make someone just shut it out if it's their ehrliche brother-in-law or the guy that sits in front of them at night seder.

Print ads are important because many people who are attracted to these offers do not use social media/Whatsapp.

+1
But ads are expensive, I highly doubt we'll get more than 1 or 2 if any.  That's why I think everyone should hang up this sign on their shul bulletin board.

In the first paragraph, instead of "you'll be left", perhaps write "you can be left".

Maybe make some bullet points of the highlights (for the millennials whose attention span is that of the latest commercials)  like:
  • You WONT be able to dispute
  • Even an ehrliche business or business man can fail to pay
  • YOU are responsible for payments

etc.. Just a thought

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I am counting on free ads, being that this ad is L'tovas Klal....

I think "you'll be" is more accurate and "scary". Although I do think it shouldn't be abbreviated, it should be spelled out fully.
Questions/opinions from the designer:
1. Does ehrliche need to be capitalized?

I don't think so. But anyways in general I don't think the grammar has to be perfect. It's not like anyone paid for this. I think it's fine just the way it is.

Also I think another big thing has been overlooked. We will need this to be translated to Yiddish.

Yes yes! My husband told me that's important. I'll ask the guy if he writes yiddish, or if anyone is a good yiddish writer, can help in translating.

I’m connected with a magazine and would gladly make a full fledged interview with victims for the purpose of awareness, free of charge.

How much are you hoping to collect for an ad to be published once or twice in a handful of publications?

Put that money into making a 1 minute video that can be shared on whatsapp and will be picked up for free by every website, that would have a far greater reach and impact.
+100000000000000000000

It will be much more effective to make some sort of meme to go viral and link to Dan's article than an ad which won't reach nearly enough people and even of those who see it most won't even read it.

Porque no los dos?
Especially if papers will give free ads?

If there's a reference to stories that have happened recently, it can't be too vague or that won't be takes seriously.
