The mobile office hours are open to the public; reservations are not required.

 

“Mobile office hours are not only beneficial for local consumers to learn about consumer protection issues, but also for our Office because we get to hear about the calls, scams, and fraud happening in the region directly from consumers,” Attorney General Morrisey said. “We encourage everyone to stop by a local mobile office hours event to learn more about protecting their personal, identifiable information so they do not fall prey to a scam.”

 

Additionally, Krushansky will have a booth from noon-4 p.m. April 16 at the Mineral County Business Expo in Keyser, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. April 18 at West Virginia University Children’s Hospital Kids Day at the Morgantown Mall in Morgantown, and also 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m. April 23 at the AARP Operation Scam Jam at the Erickson Alumni Center in Morgantown.
