Consumer Protection

The Consumer Protection Branch of the Civil Division brings criminal enforcement actions against predatory fraudsters seeking to steal veterans’ benefits, deceptively peddle financial products, or sell dangerous products.  The effects of such schemes can have significant impact on servicemembers and their families, because whenever a military member loses money to a fraudster or is subjected to unnecessary risks, that member’s dependents often suffer hardship as well.  This is particularly true for the many single-income families within the Armed Forces.
