Consumer fraud, including false advertising and deceptive marketing, can result in significant financial loss, emotional distress, and unsafe products. If you’ve been a victim of consumer fraud, we’re here to fight for you.

What is Consumer Fraud?

Consumer fraud occurs when businesses or individuals deceive consumers in ways that cause harm, whether through false advertising, misleading marketing, or other fraudulent practices. These actions are not only unethical but also illegal. Typical forms of consumer fraud include:

• False Advertising: Businesses may make false or misleading claims about their products or services to entice consumers to purchase. For example, claims about a product’s benefits, ingredients, or effectiveness that are not true.
• Deceptive Marketing: This includes tactics such as hidden fees, bait-and-switch schemes, and misrepresenting the terms of a sale to consumers.
• Identity Theft: Fraudulent attempts to obtain an individual’s personal information for financial gain. This can include scams such as phishing emails or fake websites that steal credit card numbers.
• Phishing and Online Scams: Fraudsters may use fake emails or websites to trick individuals into giving away sensitive information, including Social Security numbers or banking details.
