She went on to talk about how the ODOJ cannot work to create a level playing field for Oregon businesses if the department is spending time catching scam artists. That is why ODOJ goes to great lengths to educate consum- ers to avoid scams and other fraudulent transactions. Through the course of pro- tecting consumers, they are also helping the business com- munity as well.

Rosenblum said the ODOJ creates a level playing field “primarily through our con- sumer protection activities, which could also be called velopment here or anywhere else.” The ODOJ also has a scam alert program where individ- uals sign up to receive emails detailing scams the ODOJ is aware of.
