Watch for business opportunity scams. Double check with someone you trust before taking a deal that seems too good to be true. #ConsumerProtection

Travel and Vacation scams were the fifth highest complaint we received in 2025.

If the deal seems too good to be true, it could be. Read contracts, check with a friend before making payments, and never pay in unconventional methods. #ConsumerProtection

Watch out for "bounced check" scams!

Never take more money then the agreed upon amount, with a promise to send some of the extra money back to the person who sent it to you. #ScamAlert #EnforceAndInform
