Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced his office will host various events across the Eastern Panhandle aimed at consumer education and fighting fraud as part of National Consumer Protection Week 2019.
 
The Attorney General collaborates with the Federal Trade Commission and federal, state and local agencies, consumer groups and national organizations to raise awareness about consumer fraud issues from Sunday, March 3, to Saturday, March 9.
