Protect yourself this holiday season

The consumer tips section will teach consumers how to protect themselves online and off, whether they're signing up for offers, shopping, taking advantage of work-at-home opportunities for extra income, or eliminating clutter by selling their own goods, while offering a list of consumer advocacy organisations to keep visitors informed.

"At Pissed Consumer, we want our readers to understand their rights as consumers," says Joanna Brown of PissedConsumer.com. "We've launched our new consumer advocacy section to provide a collection of resources on the Web where visitors can report their customer service experiences or learn about potentially problematic offers and companies from the experiences of others. Many people fall victim to scams, especially around the holiday season where they're more likely to not only spend more money, but also be looking to make more money. We hope that the consumer tips and advice we're now offering will help our readers to avoid becoming one of those victims."

Visitors of the site can find the following consumer resources through the newly added consumer tips section:
1. Websites and organisations where they can research companies and report customer service experiences
2. Tips on how to learn about and maintain their credit
3. Advice on avoiding scams while shopping or participating in credit transactions
4. Tips on protecting each consumer's identity
5. Advice on how to protect themselves when selling items through auctions or other outlets

PissedConsumer.com offers a variety of consumer protection resources in addition to the consumer tips and advice found in the new consumer advocacy section. Consumer resources include business reviews, sample complaint letters, and a forum where visitors can network and share their experiences with other community members.
