Consumers are being urged to spend their hard-earned money wisely, as we enter the festive season.

The Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission says Fijians must exercise caution as they take advantage of upcoming sales.

Chief Executive Joel Abraham says it’s unfortunate some unscrupulous traders and service providers can take advantage of unsuspecting consumers at this time of the year.

Abraham says during inspections, FCCC serves notice to traders and businesses who allegedly breach the FCCC Act 2010 so they can take the necessary steps to be compliant.

He says these traders are revisited to confirm that they have complied and if they have not, they are warned about possible prosecution.
