NATIONAL CONSUMER PROTECTION WEEK: Consumer Resources for All Ages

Scam Victims United is proud to announce that it has joined a group of federal, state, and local government agencies and national consumer organizations to launch the 12th annual National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW), March 7-13, 2010.

NCPW 2010 — Dollars and Sense: Rated A for All Ages — highlights the importance of using good consumer sense at every stage of life – from grade school to retirement.

NCPW partners are promoting free resources to help people protect their privacy, manage money and debt, avoid identity theft, understand credit and mortgages, and steer clear of frauds and scams. In addition, NCPW partners are reaching out to kids, focusing on websites, videos and games designed for a younger audience.

To become a partner in this national campaign, visit the website at www.consumer.gov/ncpw, where you’ll find a blog that offers tips for getting involved and promoting NCPW. Check out the Outreach Toolkit for a sample press release, web buttons and banners, and flyers you can use to spread the word about NCPW.

One last reminder

I am so sorry that I have not posted as much this week, but I have been so busy getting ready for the National Consumer Empowerment Conference and Expo in Hollywood, Florida this weekend.

Both consumers and advocates coming together to share resources, ideas and discuss the issues.

I am sure that I will have a lot of great things to share with you from this event.
