September 2014 Red Flag Award Winner

The September 2014 Red Flag Award goes to... Consumers Union! Very often, this organization posts scam warnings to its social media channels, which have large followings, and reach a lot of people. From its website: "Consumers Union is the policy and action division of Consumer Reports. We work with our million plus activists to pass consumer protection laws in states and in Congress. We hammer corporations that do wrong by their customers, and encourage companies that are heading in the right direction." Thanks for all you do, and keep it up!
