Focusing on Protection against Scams and Unfair Sales Tactics

North Olmsted, OH – Cuyahoga County Councilman Dave Greenspan will host a Town Hall Meeting on April 20th, at 7:00 pm at the North Olmsted Library featuring Cuyahoga County’s Department of Consumer Affairs Director Sheryl Harris. The Department of Consumer Affairs works to create a fair marketplace for consumers and businesses through its Consumer Protection and Weights and Measures divisions.

The Cuyahoga County Consumer Protection Division provides mediation for consumer complaints against businesses, issues alerts regarding unfair sales tactics and scams, and educates the public on consumer protection laws.
