BBB has partnered with the Federal Trade Commission for National Consumer Protection Week, March 1-7, 2026, to help consumers learn how to avoid fraud and recognize the signs of scams.
Worried about getting taken in by the latest scam? Concerned about the possibility that your ID could be stolen, and you suddenly find yourself saddled with thousands of dollars of surprise bills? This week could bring you some peace of mind.
The week is devoted to informing consumers of their rights and educating the public about scam and ID theft prevention. You may have rights as a consumer you did not realize you had – rights that could make all the difference in today’s rough-and-tumble, internet-based financial landscape. Check out ftc.gov for a list of upcoming online events designed to give you the information you need to stay safe.
