Consumer Protection


The Consumer Protection Committee educates the public on various scams and con games, including Identity Theft, that target citizens.

We publish monthly articles in "The Messenger", maintain a Consumer Protection information corner in Conway Hall at the Costick Center, and distribute information at Project Healthy Living and open houses as well as on cable shows.

A presentation of Identity Theft can be arranged for organizations by calling the COA telephone number at (248) 473•1895.

FACOA, in cooperation with the State of Michigan Attorney General's Office, has sponsored presentations on several Consumer Protection topics (below), and now the handouts and tips are available on our own Consumer Protection page.
