Fraud, identity theft, and online scams continue to evolve. The best way to stay ahead is to spot red flags early and take a few simple steps to protect your personal information. If you’ve ever wondered how to improve your credit, shop confidently for a used car, or keep your personal information safe online, you’re not alone.
DCBA’s Consumer Protection Team is here to help during National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW), March 1–7, 2026, and every day of the year. NCPW is a nationwide effort that brings together government agencies and local consumer advocates to highlight your rights and share practical tools to help you spot, report, and avoid scams.
Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing timely tips, easy-to-use resources, and expert guidance to help you stay informed and protect what matters most. From avoiding the latest scams to understanding your credit report, our goal is to empower you with knowledge you can use right away.
