Consumer Outreach
Knowledge is power. That’s why MSBOC is committed to keeping Mississippi consumers informed when it comes to avoiding common mistakes or falling victim to unethical misrepresentation regarding home construction or remodeling. Part of this mission involves MSBOC stepping up our direct outreach to the public.
SCAM STOPPER SEMINAR
We’ve been conducting and continue to offer “Scam Stopper” Seminars throughout the state of Mississippi in cooperation with local law enforcement and community-based organizations. This seminar provides insightful information about construction-related scams and how you can better protect yourself when hiring a contractor. Topics address education and awareness; how to verify a license, documentation and references; how to spot common scams; as well as a range of other tips and practices we are happy to share with you.
