Original release date: March 08, 2017

March 5-11 is National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW), an event to encourage people and businesses to learn more about avoiding scams and understanding consumer rights. During NCPW, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and its fellow agencies highlight free resources to help protect against consumer harm. FTC recently issued press releases on NCPW events and the most common consumer grievances reported to the agency in 2016. Last year, complaints on debt collection, imposter scams, and identity theft topped the list.

US-CERT recommends reviewing the FTC resources and the following resources from US-CERT:

• Protecting Your Privacy
• Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks, and
• Preventing and Responding to Identity Theft
