Have you experienced fraudulent and deceptive business practices in Maine?

Many businesses understand that honesty is the key ingredient to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with their customers. However, nearly any transaction that involves exchanging money for goods and services has the potential to involve unfair or deceptive practices which can lead to a breach of contract. The below are a few examples:

• Online scams can include online auction fraud, identity theft, sweepstakes, lottery, or mortgage assistance scams, among others. 

• Purchasing goods. You may find you’ve purchased a product that is defective or the brand and/or quality was not accurately represented. Other examples include being told you cannot cancel a sale that you have the right to cancel. Additionally, you could mistakenly purchase a product that is considered dangerous after those dangers were withheld or misrepresented.

• Warranties and returns. If a business fails to honor the terms of a warranty or the return of an item or misrepresents that item(s) at the time of sale, this may be a breach of contract.

• Buying a car. Fraudulent ads, “bait and switch” sales tactics, rolling back an odometer, presenting a used car as new, and more, all encompass fraudulent practices, and Shafto Law may be able to help.

• Financial scams can include credit cards, securities fraud, bad loans, and investment scams. These and other situations where you are misled or misinformed about the true terms of a financial transaction can be a breach of contract.
