Massachusetts Consumer Protection Laws | Chapter 93A
The first thing any consumer should do before buying or investing in anything is become educated about the product. However, even with education, many people and businesses fall prey to fraud, deception and unfair practices. Massachusetts consumer protection laws, Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 93A, also called the Massachusetts Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, or Consumer Protection Law, helps protect the citizens of Massachusetts from unscrupulous retailers and service providers.
Businesses who take advantage of consumers in bait and switch tactics, unfair practices, or another practice that takes advantage of the consumers are liable for damages. If you have been taken advantage of, you may be entitled to damages. If you were the victim of a wilful and egregious violation of the law, your damages may include up to three times the amount of the original amount, attorney's fees and the cost of any litigation.
Some of the tactics that consumers often fall prey to are:
- Bait and Switch Techniques
- False Advertising
- Scams
- Misrepresentation
- Sucker Lists
- Get Rich Quick Schemes
- Pig in a Poke
- Confidence Tricks
- Internet Auctions
