In today's competitive environment, attempts to influence customers are taking place not only through traditional media but across many new platforms, including external websites, social media outlets and mobile applications. The practices and policies of consumer-facing companies, from invasive marketing to the protection of customer information, are under constant scrutiny, as are issues relating to unfair or deceptive acts as well as misleading, improper or illegal advertising, marketing, and pricing practices. Whenever a manufacturer or seller engages in misleading advertising or flat-out lies regarding the products and services they offer, they must be held accountable for their fraud.

Perhaps the consumer has fallen prey to identity theft, financial fraud, or other fraudulent purchases for which he/she is unjustly being held accountable. Consumer Protection Act (CPA) level the playing field of consumers who have been treated unfairly.
