Prof. Cox on MPR, CNET and other Media

Professor Prentiss Cox was recently quoted extensively on CNET and in other media regarding the recent announcement by New York Attorney General Cuomo that he had settled allegations of consumer fraud against Fandango and was investigating 22 other companies related to the practice of preacquried account marketing. Cox is a leading commentator about this peculiar form of marketing that involves agreements by banks and retailers to sell the right to charge their customer's financial accounts. The practice has been linked to very high levels of consumer deception and misunderstanding.

Cox also was quoted on Minnesota Public Radio about the varying numbers on the level of home mortgage foreclosures in Minnesota reported by different organizations.
