Devious Fraudsters

Creola Johnson

Fraudsters sell you on big dreams, but if you fall for their devious plans, you will have nothing to show for it except a bruised ego and a hole in your wallet. From Ohio State's Moritz College of Law, Professor Creola Johnson will explain how real-life fraudsters devise devious schemes that violate U.S. consumer protection laws. You will learn how to avoid becoming their next victim, and what to do if you've already fallen prey. To report a scam: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/
