Austin law firm to provide consultations for a limited time
AUSTIN, Texas, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Consumer fraud cases are on the rise in Texas and around the country. Though elaborate schemes may be difficult to detect at first, it is imperative that victims know what to do if fraud is suspected. Austin, TX personal injury attorney, Joel A. Levine, is providing consumer fraud consultations to help protect the rights of these individuals.
Cease All Communication
Those who suspect that they are victims of fraud should cease all communication with the other party immediately. This applies to all forms of communication, including telephone, email, in-person, written, text, etc.
It is important to know that once communication has ceased, the other party may use tactics in an effort to engage or get a response. While it may seem hard to do, don't respond - but do keep a record of all these communication attempts.
Gather Important Documents and Details
There is a lot of work involved in proving consumer fraud cases. Levine says that the more details and documentation collected, the more efficiently a resolution can be obtained.
Individuals suspecting fraud should compile a list of dates stating the actions and names of those involved, as well as a list of any phone calls, written correspondence, receipts, and payments. All paperwork, packaging, photos, catalogs, or otherwise should also be collected.
This information can be used by an attorney when piecing together a case or as potential evidence in court should legal action be pursued.
Hire a Personal Injury Attorney
Consumer protection laws, such as the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (TDTPA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) are put in place to protect the rights of scams or fraud victims. These laws cover a wide variety of scams, such as false advertising, credit card fraud, pyramid schemes, deceptive trade practices, fake credit score services, failure to honor warranty claims, failure to disclose important product or service details, failure to meet quality standards, and empty promises.
An attorney will be able to review the details of the injured party's case to investigate the scope of the fraud, take an in-depth look at the damages that have been incurred, and determine the best course of action to seek justice.
