How Does it Work?
When a consumer contacts CFA, a volunteer listens as the problem is described - that volunteer now "owns" the case until a resolution is secured. The volunteer will contact the company or agency directly to promote dispute resolution. CFA works cooperatively with State and Federal agencies to help track and combat scams.

Media Partners
Each Call For Action office is associated with a local broadcast station that provides working space, supplies, and over-the-air promotion of CFA services. This cooperation strengthens our connection to the community, and gives our volunteers clout when working on consumers’ behalf. Information collected by CFA on trends and new frauds affecting consumers is used by our broadcaster partners to prepare news reports.
