Consumer Fraud
Definition:
Consumer fraud encompasses a wide range of fraudulent and deceptive
practices in the advertising, marketing, sale, and/or provision of goods
or services. Consumer fraud occurs when a product or service
does not perform in the manner in which it was advertised or represented
to perform. Consumer fraud can also take place when a company overcharges
or charges consumers improperly for a product or service, conceals hidden
charges, or improperly imposes unfair terms and conditions in standard form
contracts.
