Quote From: anon_slcThe Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is very committed to investigating internet, telephone, mail crime and fraud. The FTC works for the consumer to prevent criminal, fraudulent, deceptive and unfair, business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers report, spot, stop, and avoid them.
The following link to the FTC website, you'll find publications with advice on avoiding scams and rip-offs, as well as tips on other consumer topics and reporting consumer fraud.
www.ftc.gov/ftc/consumer.htm
To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues, visit www.ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261.
The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.
Hope it helps!
Thanks so much for posting the link. Dr. Phil said, on his show, that his viewers could access "how to protect/watch out for identity theft" on his website. I did a site search and then tried the message board and WHALA! there was the info & link that I wanted. Thanks again! I'll be passing this link onto family and friends.
