This week, we celebrated National Consumer Protection Week by providing tips and highlighting the millions of dollars in recoveries obtained for consumers in Florida and nationwide.

Protecting consumers is a major focus of our office and over the past year, we have launched several major initiatives to bolster our fraud-fighting efforts, such as: the new Consumer Alert Program, our intra-agency Senior Protection Team and the NO SCAM price gouging reporting app—to help protect consumers during natural disasters, like hurricanes.

These are just a few of the innovative steps we are taking to better protect Floridians from fraud and prevent scams—and I am proud to report back to you that these tactics are paying off.

Since January of 2019, our Consumer Protection Division has recovered more than $153 million through settlements and court-ordered relief for consumers nationwide, and we are just getting started.

You can follow all the latest news on our Twitter account or by visiting MyFloridaLegal.com. There you will find great resources for preventing fraud and reporting scams.

Remember, by working together to fight fraud and protect Floridians, we can build a Stronger, Safer Florida.
