National Consumer Protection Week 2012David Vladeck, DirectorWelcome to the fourteenth annual National Consumer Protection Week, March 4-10, 2012 and NCPW.gov, the site visited by hundreds of thousands of people in 2011.NCPW.gov, your  “information destination,” hosts an incredible variety of resources on topics that matter to the nation’s consumers.  The information offered by the ever-growing list of NCPW partners is both out of this world and within easy reach of people looking for practical and actionable tips on managing credit and debt, avoiding ID theft, fighting scams and fraud, understanding  technology and how to use it safely, and much more.  Resources from more than 30 federal agencies and national organizations are available here, within a few clicks.  The NCPW toolkit provides the banners, buttons, template materials and outreach ideas to help community and organization leaders share the tips with friends, family and community.When NCPW began 14 years ago, few people had access to news, information, shopping, entertainment, friends, and neighbors on a device that fits in the palm of a hand.   Technology has changed, but the information from NCPW partners remains top flight - it can help us make better-informed decisions, recognize and report scams and frauds, share experiences, file complaints, and expose dishonest businesses.  I encourage you to share the information you find on NCPW partner sites with your families, friends, colleagues...in short, with all the consumers you know.Read More: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/ncpw/index.shtml
