Connections: Discussing scams targeting consumers during the pandemic

Experts in the legal field are warning consumers about scams and fraudulent online tools that target vulnerable populations and essential workers during the pandemic. From tip scamming, to meal price inflation by delivery services, to charity and phishing scams, attorneys say there's a lot to look out for. The New York State Attorney General has launched an effort to combat such scams.

This hour, our guests share what they think consumers need to know. Our guests:

  • Scott Malouf, local attorney whose practice is focused on the intersection of social media and the law
  • Mike Johansson, senior lecturer of communication at RIT, and social media consultant at Fixitology
  • Letitia James, New York State Attorney General
