As 2024 approaches, the Tennessee Attorney General’s Office Division of Consumer Affairs urges Tennesseans to make a renewed effort to protect themselves and the elderly from scams in the new year. The office has provided key tips to help consumers avoid scam loss, including being aware of fake debt collectors, using only verified customer service contacts for questions about accounts, thoroughly scrutinizing online offers, hiring only licensed contractors, and avoiding transactions involving gift cards, cryptocurrency or wire transfer. Consumers also can sign up for fraud alerts and learn more about reporting scams from the Federal Trade Commission.
