The New York State Consumer Protection Board (CPB) has created a series of public service announcements which provide key information on a variety of issues, including identity theft, scam prevention and the Do Not Call Registry.

Don't Fall for Lottery Scams

The CPB and the New York Lottery teamed up to produce audio and video public service announcements (PSA) warning consumers to be on the lookout for bogus lottery offers making the rounds during the current economic crisis.

The PSAs, featuring Lottery personality Yolanda Vega, are designed to raise awareness among consumers of diverse backgrounds, and have been distributed to radio and television stations statewide.
