MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsinites continue to have problems dealing with landlords and scam calls. Wisconsin Consumer Protection director Michelle Reinen says those two issues once again topped the list of complaints received in 2024.
“Landlord tenant issues are the leader, but they have increased by over 300 complaints, with 2525 complaints from consumers dealing with landlord tenant issues, and number two being telemarketing with 1513 complaints,” Reinen said.
Reinen says the actual number of scam call complaints was down, probably owing to people being more aware of the issue, and using the technology available to prevent those calls from reaching them in the first place.
