File000704919536

Florida Office of the Attorney General issued the following announcement on March 6.

Attorney General Ashley Moody is encouraging Floridians to educate themselves about the latest scams this National Consumer Protection Week. Last year, Attorney General Moody launched a Consumer Alert Program to inform Floridians about emerging scams and the latest tricks used by scammers to defraud Floridians. Since the program’s inception, Attorney General Moody has issued more than 30 alerts to help Floridians avoid scams, make restitution claims and report fraud.

Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “Our Consumer Alert Program is designed to help keep Floridians informed about emerging scams and the different ways new technology is being misused to deceive Floridians. As a former prosecutor and judge, I have learned that one of the best tools we have to stop fraud is to empower consumers with the information they need to identify scams and what to do if they are targeted. I am asking all Floridians to take time this National Consumer Protection Week, to visit our Consumer Alert webpage and learn more about the latest tactics being used to rip off Floridians.”

Attorney General Moody’s Consumer Alert webpage aggregates the latest OAG alerts about emerging scams and is full of tips and resources to help Floridians avoid scams. Linked below are just a few of the Consumer Alerts issued since the launch of the program:
