In an effort to protect consumers from deceptive advertising practices, North Dakota's Attorney General announced today the launch of a new consumer protection campaign. This campaign aims to educate residents about their rights as consumers and provide resources to help them identify and report fraudulent advertising.The Attorney General stated that the goal of the campaign is to crack down on businesses that engage in misleading advertising tactics, such as false advertising, bait-and-switch schemes, and deceptive pricing practices.

The Attorney General emphasized the importance of staying vigilant and doing research before making purchasing decisions, especially when it comes to online transactions.North Dakota residents are encouraged to visit the Attorney General's website for more information on the new consumer protection campaign and to learn how they can protect themselves from fraudulent advertising practices.
