Who does the CPA specifically NOT protect?

  1. Individuals acting for personal purposes

  2. Corporations

  3. Sole proprietors

  4. Customers receiving repair services

The correct answer is: Corporations

The CPA typically does not protect corporations as they are considered a separate entity from its shareholders and not necessarily considered individual consumers. Additionally, corporations could have their own laws and protections in place to prevent any fraud or deceptive business practices. The CPA is specifically meant to protect individuals who engage in commerce for personal purposes, sole proprietors who run their own businesses, and customers who receive repair services from businesses. Therefore, option B is incorrect as corporations are not included in the protection of the CPA.
