Fraud & Consumer Complaints

Good Evening!
Fighting scams, questionable business practices, & other forms of fraud can be won! The most important thing you should do is record everything that takes place. This includes time, dates, people involved etc. Keep all receipts!

Your most important asset in many cases may be your city Attorney's Office. Unfortunately since there are so many forms of fraud I can't include it all here but if you would like something added please let me know!
