Consumer Alerts

Part of being an informed consumer is knowing how to spot a scam.

Here are some quick tips:

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
A salesman who will only guarantee a price "right now" without giving you the chance to do research may not be offering a good deal.
You almost always have the right to change your mind.
Your bank will never email you to look for financial information. Never access internet banking through a link in an email.
If you're feeling pressure to purchase, don't. You have the right to say, "no thanks" and "good bye".
