Friend, the holiday season should be a joyful time to connect with loved ones, support local businesses, and give back to our communities – but for too many families, it's becoming a time of deceit. 

This shouldn't be what the holiday season is about.

Scammers and greedy businesses see this season as an opportunity to prey on people just trying to shop for gifts, spend time with loved ones, and travel back home to see their families. And whether it's price gouging on essential goods or utilities during emergencies or cybercriminals targeting online shoppers, the results are the same: lives disrupted, holidays ruined, and safety compromised.

Letitia James is working tirelessly to protect New Yorkers from fraud and exploitation, especially during this time of year.

From illegal price gouging during snowstorms and dropping temperatures to  exploiting holiday shoppers, scammers have decided that this is the time to ramp up their fraudulent efforts. But what they don't know is that leaders like Letitia are ramping up their efforts to stop them.

Having your support in this pursuit of justice is crucial if we're going to have the resources we need to investigate and shut down illegal activity, warn the public, and hold these bad actors accountable. So let's make sure no family has to fall victim to holiday scams and illegal excessive charges. Letitia James wants to know you're standing with her, so tell us:

Thank you for standing with us.
