National Consumer Protection Week

NINTH ANNUAL NATIONAL CONSUMER PROTECTION WEEK:
READ UP, REACH OUT, and BE AN INFORMED CONSUMER.
Give Me Back My Credit! has joined a group of federal, state, and local government agencies and national consumer advocacy organizations to launch the ninth annual National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW), February 4-10, 2007. NCPW highlights consumer education efforts in the fight against fraud in communities across the nation. NCPW's national organizers encourage everyone to read up, reach out, and be an informed consumer.
By gathering and sharing information, consumers - and their friends and families - can be more confident, savvy and safe in the marketplace.
NCPW partner organizations will provide practical - and tactical - tips so consumers can learn and tell others how to make well-informed purchase decisions, avoid scams, protect their personal information, and file a complaint. Consumers can read up and boost their marketplace IQ at www.consumer.gov/ncpw.

Anyone who takes advantage of this specified week to become educated on key tips to save money and guard against the constant barrage of scams, fraud and deceptive practices will ultimately find themselves better equipped to handle and outwit scam artists, identity thieves, corporate wrongs and fraud artists.
