Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection has launched a new website, SmartConsumer.ct.gov, to inform residents of their consumer rights and to keep them aware of scams and fraudulent offers.
“The Department’s new, user-focused website,” said Consumer Protection Commissioner William M. Rubenstein, ”makes helpful information easier to find and more accessible for consumers of all ages.”
The website is structured to provide useful information to consumers according to their age and stage in life. It includes advice on spotting and avoiding travel fraud, rental scams, pyramid schemes and modeling scams, along with information on stopping unwanted mail, hiring home improvement contractors, and staying safe online.
