Most states have a Consumer Code, which regulates fraud and deceptive business practices in the state. The act, in most states, is generally modeled after the Federal Trade Commission Act, and, in the process, certain unlawful practices regarding collection, sales, and representations are covered. Phone solicitation is generally covered, along with the giving of prizes, gifts, gratuities, auto and home repairs, etc. Conditions relating to loans, both as to real estate and non-real-estate items, are also protected under most state Consumer Codes. Please see specific state for details and/or differences.

The court ruled that investors were consumers and that the Illinois act does not exempt accounting services.
