Crypto Scam Tracker Partnership – Through our new partnership with the California Department of Justice (DOJ), our nationally recognized Crypto Scam Tracker has shut down 26 different crypto scam websites and uncovered $4.6 million in consumer losses. Seven new scam types have been identified in our Crypto Scam Tracker, based on more than 2,668 complaints submitted by consumers in California and across the US last year.
In the aftermath of the LA wildfires, the Contractors State Licensing Board (CSLB) is cautioning consumers about dishonest, unlicensed contractors who prey on survivors of disasters. Learn about available resources from their Rebuilding After a Disaster series that includes on-page fact sheets (English | Spanish) and an informational video on how to start a reconstruction project, choose a contractor, and protect yourself from scams and fraud.
