Consumer Protection Attorney
What is Consumer Protection?
False Advertising
This involves making false or misleading claims about a product or service in advertisements. For example, advertising a product as “all-natural” when it contains synthetic ingredients. When a company’s website or advertisement makes promises about a product or service, those claims should be truthful and upheld. Too often, businesses mislead consumers, suggesting their products are safer, healthier, or more effective than they really are. These false or deceptive claims can violate consumer protection laws.
Identity Theft
Identity theft occurs when someone steals another person’s personal information, such as their Social Security number or credit card details, to make unauthorized purchases or access financial accounts.
Phishing Scams
Phishing involves sending fraudulent emails, texts, or messages that appear to be from legitimate companies or organizations. These messages often ask recipients to provide sensitive information, such as passwords or financial details, which can then be used for fraudulent purposes.
Pyramid Schemes
Pyramid schemes promise participants high returns on their investment by recruiting others to join the scheme rather than by selling legitimate products or services. As the scheme grows, it becomes unsustainable, and only those at the top of the pyramid profit.
False Billing
False billing occurs when consumers are charged for goods or services they did not purchase or receive. This can include unauthorized charges on credit cards, bills for unordered merchandise, or overcharging for products or services.
Counterfeit Products
Counterfeit products are fake replicas of genuine products, often of inferior quality, sold under a brand’s name without the brand owner’s authorization. Common counterfeit goods include clothing, accessories, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.
Deceptive Pricing
Deceptive pricing tactics include false markdowns, deceptive comparison pricing, or misleading information about discounts or sale prices to trick consumers into believing they are getting a better deal than they actually are.
Bait-and-Switch
This tactic involves advertising a product at a low price to attract customers, only to pressure them into purchasing a higher-priced alternative once they are in the store or engaged in the transaction.
Unfair Debt Collection Practices
Unfair debt collection practices involve harassing or threatening behavior by debt collectors, misrepresenting the amount owed, or attempting to collect debts that consumers do not owe.
Unauthorized Subscriptions or Charges
Some businesses enroll consumers in subscriptions or memberships without their consent or continue charging them for services even after they have canceled.
Predatory Lending
Some businesses enroll consumers in subscriptions or memberships without their consent or continue charging them for services even after they have canceled.
