Our Story

I’m sure you or someone you know has put your trust in the hands of someone that you wish you hadn’t, wished you spent a little more time researching or didn’t trust the words of the salesperson.

My wife and I made the same mistake. We selected a Pediatrician prior to the birth of our child and they appeared on the outside to be fine. Unfortunately, the negligence of the physician almost cost us our child when he was two weeks old. Our story turned out well as our son is fully recovered. That error in judgment has become our life’s mission.

After spending years speaking to hundreds of businesses and thousands of consumers, I realized my story is not unique. Every minute, consumers are selecting the services of professionals with pending or settled malpractice cases or contractors that are unlicensed and unqualified. 

At the National Association of Consumer Fraud we are not satisfied with the conventional methods of reducing consumer fraud. There are many organizations doing fine work to educate consumers. Information is readily available now more than ever, yet consumer fraud and complaints about unethical business practices are at an all time high. We want to start at the root of the problem; the businesses themselves. The NAACF interviewed thousands of businesses in numerous industries throughout North Carolina and Central Florida. The results of those interviews have been enlightening. Business owners provided us valuable information that will benefit consumers when selecting a business to provide a product or service. Unfortunately, we also found many of the unethical practices and shortcuts many businesses take that are not in the best interest of consumers.

It is the NAACF’s opinion that in order to reduce consumer fraud, you need to take away the revenue from the businesses committing fraud or unethical practices. If there revenue steam is diminished, they will need to change. Through our interviews and research, we hope to educate consumers to make sound decisions in selecting businesses and bring revenue to the honest community minded businesses.

Thank you for spending the time to learn about the National Association Against Consumer Fraud and its goal of helping consumers and ethical businesses.
