Consumer fraud

Consumer fraud exists when a consumer buys something 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.

If you have been the victim of consumer fraud, you may be entitled to compensation. Compensation for fraud is crucial to making a proper recovery. It allows you to gain closure on the incident and move on with your life.

Contact us today to find out if you are entitled to compensation.

What is consumer fraud?

Consumer fraud is a broad term used to describe unfair or deceptive business practices, perpetrated by companies with the intent to obtain financial advantage at the expense of consumers.

What are the different types of consumer fraud?

Unfortunately, consumer fraud can be carried out in a number of ways. False and misleading advertising, auto fraud, insurance fraud, unfair debt collection, deceptive internet practices, and the sale of defective products are just a few examples of the types of consumer fraud that exist.

What are some examples of consumer fraud?

Consumer fraud can occur when a company or its representative employs high-pressure or deceptive sales tactics, misrepresents or lies about the capabilities, functioning, or quality of a product or service, offers one product but delivers another (called bait and switch), uses fine print to defraud consumers, improperly bills for a product or service, offers a defective product, and more.

What should I do after I have experienced consumer fraud?
