Consumer awareness is the most powerful tool available in preventing Coloradans from falling victim to scams and identity theft. Our goal is to keep Colorado consumers apprised of the latest scams targeting the state’s residents to assist in preventing further victimization and to provide valuable informational guides for consumers.
Consumers can sign up to receive future electronic fraud advisories and the Consumer Fraud Bulletin at www.coloradoattorneygeneral.gov/fraudawareness. The Office of the Attorney General will circulate this information in conjunction with AARP ElderWatch.
