March 15 is National Consumers’ Day. To mark this occasion and in keeping with the theme of the day, which is if its too good to be true, it probably is, the ACCC has launched a new scams publication and has issued a Special National Consumers’ Day Edition of Consumer Express—the ACCC’s monthly electronic newsletter for consumers and the consumer movement.
The ACCC coordinated the international ICPEN internet sweep in early February, which was also on the theme of Too Good to be True, and is currently investigating various traders. Some outcomes the ACCC has already achieved are announced today by Chairman Graeme Samuel. Further details regarding these outcomes and other ACCC activities for National Consumers’ Day are outlined in the news release.
