It should take less than five minutes to complete.&nbsp;<\/span><br><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent\">In addition to providing feedback, the summertime presents the opportunity to review Nessel\u2019s consumer alerts related to flooding and power loss, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/ag\/consumer-protection\/consumer-alerts\/consumer-alerts\/home-health\/building-and-remodeling-advice-for-homeowners\">researching contractors if home repairs are needed<\/a> before paying for a project and alerting drivers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/ag\/consumer-protection\/consumer-alerts\/consumer-alerts\/auto\/beware-of-buying-a-flood-damaged-vehicle\">water-damaged vehicles being sold on the used car market<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><br><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent\">Your connection to consumer protection is just a click or phone call away.\u202fConsumer complaints can be filed online at the Attorney General's website, or if you have questions call 877-765-8388.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><br><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent\"><br><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent\"><b>DIFS ALERTS CONSUMERS TO RECURRING SCAM AND HOW TO AVOID IT&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent\">The Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) is reminding consumers of best practices to avoid being victimized by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/difs\/news-and-outreach\/press-releases\/2021\/10\/14\/difs-issues-consumer-alert-about-spoofed-phone-number-scam\">recurring scam<\/a> in which impostors call consumers and identify themselves as financial institutions and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/money\/personal-finance\/susan-tompor\/2022\/06\/30\/utility-shutoff-scam-stole-cash-via-zelle\/7714138001\/\">utility companies<\/a> requesting payments or personal information.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent\">One recent version of this scam involves criminals posing as DTE Energy contacting customers first via text message and then by phone call asking them to make missed payments through a website, often using cash transfer apps such as Zelle.
