Reporting fraud is a key component in identifying patterns of concern. Fraud reports enable our office to identify and devote our limited resources to the most egregious cases involving widespread harm to Colorado consumers and the associated business environment. Information from the public contributes to potential investigations and possible legal action taken on behalf of the State of Colorado. To learn more about the various scams affecting Colorado citizens, please visit the Fraud Center. If you believe you have been victimized by a scam or wish to report suspicious activity, please file a report here.
Complaints assist our office in the detection of patterns of fraud and abuse affecting Colorado consumers statewide. While it’s up to you to determine how much information you want to provide, the information obtained from complaints help us identify consumer fraud trends and set enforcement priorities. As privacy is paramount we strongly recommend you remove all personal confidential information, such as Social Security numbers, bank account and credit card numbers, and health/medical information from copies of any documents you include with your complaint. In some cases, your complaint may be forwarded to the business or applicable law enforcement agency and may ultimately be used in legal proceedings on behalf of the State of Colorado. For more information, please review our Privacy Policy.
Reports of fraud assist our office in the detection of statewide patterns of abuse that may lead to investigations and eradicate deceptive business practices. Although we are unable to directly resolve individual concerns, your report will remain on file and be used to assist in determining patterns of fraud for possible statewide investigations and intervention. In addition to filing a report with our office, you may also wish to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and review the Consumer Resource Guide for additional assistance.
While the Attorney General is chief legal counsel to state government and is responsible for protecting the public interest, the Attorney General does not serve as legal counsel or advisor to individual citizens. Our office is not authorized to provide legal advice, interpretation, or counsel to private citizens. Any information this office is able to provide in response to citizen questions constitutes only general statements and is not intended to serve as legal advice for any personal or specific situation.
