Scams & Frauds

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), education is the best line of defense against fraud and scams.  In keeping with this notion, CCE provides consumers with fact sheets, brochures and other information on topics such as identity theft, telemarketing and email scams, lemon laws and more.  Please visit our Resources page for helpful information on these and other topics. In addition, consumers who are dealing with a suspected fraud or scam may wish to call our Consumer Help Line at (607) 272-2292 for more information on local and other resources.
