It takes some extra effort to be a good consumer; to make sure you’re getting a good price on quality merchandise, to find top-notch service providers, and to protect yourself from liars and cheats who want to rip you off or steal your identity. But the time it takes to do it right is nothing compared to the hassles of dealing with problems that can result from making poor choices.

To celebrate National Consumer Protection Week (March 5 – 11, 2023), we’ve assembled a group of experts and asked them to share some important consumer advice.

Guests: Kevin Brasler (Checkbook.org), Edgar Dworsky (Consumerworld.org), Amy Nofziger (AARP Fraud Watch Network), John Breyault, (Fraud.org), and Kimberly Palmer (NerdWallet)
