Over $1.4 Million Returned to Nebraskans in 2024 by AG’s Office

By Chase Porter Jan 22, 2025 | 11:40 AM

Over $1.4 million was recovered and returned to the people of Nebraska from different frauds, scams, and deceptive business practices, throughout 2024 by the Consumer Affairs Response Team (CART) in the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office.

Attorney General Mike Hilgers says CART engages with Nebraska businesses and consumers to facilitate a voluntary resolution of consumer complaints.

Complaints and scam reports to the Attorney General’s Office can include identity theft, imposter scams, home repairs, auto issues, and online shopping.

Attorney General Hilgers stated, “Whether it is helping vulnerable populations, assisting those who are on the verge of potentially being victimized by a scam, or aiding Nebraskans who have lost money and do not know what to do, the members of the CART team are there every step of the way.”

In 2023, CART recovered over $1 million, making 2024 recoveries a significant increase from the prior year.

Consumers can connect with CART for one-on-one support by filing a complaint on ProtectTheGoodLife.Nebraska.gov or by calling the Attorney General’s Office at (402) 471-2682. A complaint form is also available by mail.
