If you’ve been the victim of a consumer scam, CLS can provide legal information and advice on how to report the scam to the appropriate authorities, how to protect yourself from identity theft, and how to protect your bank accounts. In some situations, we may also provide more extensive services.
If the scam involves your home or a mortgage, see our page about mortgages for further information.
