Here's the draft ad!! Any comments/critique welcome!! If anyone is good at proofreading, I can send you just the wording. Let me know. I know there's so much more to say, but we gotta just deliver the underlying message, and I feel this does the job!
i would change the font of the words in the block boxes; to me it doesn’t have a serious enough feel to it. Get what I’m saying?

It would probably be best to also email/text them this. In case the time ever came that you need the proof in writing that you didn't authorize any charges after that date.

Please spell check, there are a couple of capitalization mistakes. Also "have been lost BY not TO" in the opening sentence. Also maybe run it by an experienced marketing person to fine tune the effectiveness...

Ye, It's just that I'm using a very limited online graphics program (postermywall), I can't italicize, bold or underline 1 single word... So every small change takes a looooong time.

Final wording, spelling and grammatical errors still being worked on. I don't know of a professional marketing guy... Again, we just want to convey awareness to our communities.

From a marketing standpoint, there is nothing right about that.

I think he meant that "we just want to convey awareness to out community" doesn't mean that you don't have to market it. Good marketing will make people take it seriously.

The main thing is to get the message out. Hope this thread doesn’t turn into a long debate and than nothing happening

If not done right, it will help very few. Do you really give weight to anonymous proclamations in the newspapers/flyers? I actually like the original version better than the later one. Looks more real to me...but I know nothing about marketing!

Ye, that's why I don't feel the need to make this all professional, spend too much time on it,  and deeply analyze all pointers listed. it may be only 5 pointers, but all are true examples of how ppl were ripped off, I've heard many personal stories myself.  It's obvious there's so much more to eleborate on, Most ppl understand that there's the selling of points involved where ppl profit off of credit card spending, so there's no need to mention in the ad how this works... This is just meant to enlighten ppl to think a little deeper before signing up for one of those deadly traps. And now, with the few big cases going on, is the time to get it in the papers. Within a month , it will be old news...

You could be right. black on white may just be enough. The word sizing, layout, and font do make a difference though... I'm open to anyone creating their own version and voting on it. As long as this doesn't drag on and end in no place...

I think the ad is too vague about the reason " millions of dollars have been lost" and why people have to declare bankruptcy.
and "They are lying." is too strong to say about your erlliche brother inlaw. Add a sentence that

"Even if the user of the card is an erliche yid, with a seemingly good business, something may happen that makes him unable to pay the card even for one month and that will cost YOU interest.  And if they stop being able to pay your card at all, YOU are responsible to pay off the cc with YOUR money. "

Perhaps also add that they will not legally be able to dispute the charges.

That was the main thing I wanted to convey. I skipped the design and let the words speak for themselves.

This might be the most important part, since this is probably the reason people don't view it as an unsecured loan.

Maybe add the line from DDMS:
If you wouldn’t hand over a briefcase full of cash to someone, then don’t hand over your credit card.

It feels very abstract, and too many exclamation marks!!! to be taken seriously.

Ok guys! I think you're going to like this one! A fellow DDFer (who would like to remain anonymous) took the time to create a truly polished ad! Pls share your comments/critique. I think this is it!! @dan do we need your permission for using some of your wording in this??
