If you think you have experienced a scam or price gouging, you can report it to the Attorney General. The Office of the New York State Attorney General protects New Yorkers from fraudulent, misleading, deceptive, and illegal trade practices. They investigate businesses that may be violating New York laws. If they find that a business is acting illegally, they get remedies for New Yorkers, such as refunds or changes in business practices. The consumer mediation programs help New Yorkers resolve their problems with businesses and obtain millions of dollars in remedies each year.
