Consumer Fraud

Consumer fraud exists when a consumer buys something; merchandise, services, property, that doesn't work as advertised. The "something" can be a defective product, a real estate swindle, a fake charitable cause, bad faith denial of insurance coverage, a travel scam, as well as many, many other shams. Consumer fraud protection shields consumers from these deceptions primarily through enforcement of state and federal consumer protection and product safety laws.
