What would you do?  Throughout the month of March we have been sharing our “What Would You Do?” columns to raise consumer awareness during Fraud Prevention Month. Each of our consumer case studies begin with a specific consumer situation, continues with how we might handle such a situation and ends with tips for consumers.

Here are the links to all of our case studies:

• The Case of the Sweet Talking Swindler
• The Case of the Greedy Grandson
• The Case of the Loan Shark Lender
• The Case of the Fraudulent Furnace Installer
• The Case of the Desperate Debtor

Fraud Prevention Month is a national initiative led by Canada's Competition Bureau to fight fraud aimed at businesses and consumers.  If you have questions about your rights and responsibilities in British Columbia, please contact Consumer Protection BC toll free at 1-888-564-9963, or visit or corporate website at www.consumerprotectionbc.ca.
