Consumer Alerts
Sign Up for Automated Consumer E-mail Alerts
The Environmental and Consumer Law Division provides Consumer Alerts to educate the community regarding current scams and other consumer issues in our county. Frequently, many of the scammers are difficult to locate or may be located in other states or foreign countries where we are unable to prosecute them. It is therefore important to provide information to help prevent out citizens from becoming victims of these scams.
