Attorney General Phil Weiser kicked off National Consumer Protection Week by unveiling the list of the top ten consumer complaints and inquiries his office received in 2021
Robocalls were very unpopular with Michigan consumers in 2020.
So unpopular, in fact, that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel s office received 5,516 complaints about robocalls in 2020.
The AG s office recently released its list of the top 10 consumer complaints in 2020. The release marked the start of Consumer Protection Week on March 1.
âEach year, my office tracks consumer complaints to ensure that weâre keeping Michiganders informed on crucial details to protect their wallets,â said Nessel. âA common thread every year is the framework bad actors continue to use, which always includes: a sense of urgency, untraceable payment methods, and an offer too good to be true. The Department of Attorney General is committed to being your connection to consumer protection and I encourage everyone to take advantage of the wealth of resources we have to offer during National Consumer Protection Week and beyond.â
Hot FM Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge announced the top 10 most common complaints the Attorney General’s Office received in 2020.
While mediating thousands of complaints, investigators at the Attorney General’s Office fielded complaints directly related to COVID-19 such as price gouging, fake vaccine scams and fake coronavirus cures. These complaints resulted in investigations, attorney letters, and other enforcement actions.
“I want Arkansans to know we will do the fighting for you at the Attorney General’s Office,” said Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge. “We received almost 100,000 complaints and inquires in 2020 and each one is taken seriously to ensure we hold bad actors accountable for taking advantage of Arkansans.”
