Scam Detector Dave Lieber


Allen Public Library

The Dallas Morning News’s Watchdog columnist Dave Lieber will discuss the array of scams foisted on consumers at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, September 14, at the Allen Public Library. An unrelenting consumer advocate, Dave offers strategies for saving time, money and aggravation.  Exposing corruption and making positive changes, TheDailyBeast.com named his series one of the 10 best in the U.S. in 2014.

Founder of the consumer rights movement WatchdogNation.com, Dave shows Americans how to protect themselves from thugs, thieves, scammers, and corporate crooks. He also provides a how-to guide that teaches tips, tools and strategies to confront businesses and scammers that take advantage of a consumer’s trustworthy nature.  

The 2015 edition of his popular book Dave Lieber’s Watchdog Nation garnered two national book awards for social change and was named one of the top 10 consumer books of the year.

Dave’s stories are not all of a serious nature. Combining humor with clever observations of the human saga and canines, his popular paperback The Dog of My Nightmares: Stories by Texas Columnist Dave Lieber is now in its fifth printing. With more than 20,000 copies sold, the publisher has released The Dog of My Nightmares as a CD audio book.
