*AG Nessel Launches Holiday Consumer Protection Campaign*





*LANSING* - As families prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving and other traditions to welcome the holidays, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is launching her annual holiday consumer protection campaign focused on ways Michigan residents can protect their information and their wallets. Beginning on Black Friday and continuing into the New Year, the Attorney General Consumer Protection website's holiday scams page [ [link removed] ] will focus on educating consumers on 24 topics, including tactics scammers use to cheat consumers out of their funds during the holidays.  

“As we come together to celebrate the holidays, it’s important consumers stay vigilant against bad actors taking advantage of holiday spending and generosity to access personal and financial information,” Nessel said. “I hope this holiday scam awareness campaign helps Michigan residents learn strategies to protect themselves from scammers and enjoy a safe, secure holiday season.”  

To kick off the campaign, Attorney General Nessel is sharing important information surrounding the biggest shopping and philanthropic days of the year – Black Friday [ [link removed] ], Small Business Saturday [ [link removed] ], Cyber Monday [ [link removed] ], and Giving Tuesday [ [link removed] ]. The Attorney General is also issuing a series of new alerts to keep consumers informed on scams and topics throughout the holidays, such as:  


* Gifting circles;
* Grandparent scams;
* Travel tips;
* Data breaches; and
* Health and travel club memberships.

Consumers are encouraged to follow the Department’s official Facebook [ [link removed] ], (X) Twitter [ [link removed] ], Instagram, [ [link removed] ] and Threads [ [link removed] ] pages and subscribe to its consumer alerts [ [link removed] ] to receive the most up-to-date consumer news and holiday alerts.  

Last year, Attorney General Nessel launched a standalone Consumer Protection website [ [link removed] ] to make it easier than ever for Michigan residents to access common scam alerts, file a complaint, research charities, learn about renters’ rights, and more. The site now features the new Consumer Protection Team logo, Frankie Kaye, named after Former Michigan Attorney General Frank J. Kelly.
