Attorney General Jay Nixon has his top-ten list of things consumers complained about in 2003. Number one: telephone scame. Finance is number two. Home repair, remodeling, and construction services are next, then pyramid and business opportunities. Travel scams and timeshares are fifth. The second five: automotive repair and warranty, credit, auto sales, odomter, title and towing complaints, debt collectors, and unsolicited faxes. The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Divison says it got 85,000 consumer requests for help last year.
