AARP AARP States New Hampshire Scams & Fraud

Beware if the FTC comes calling!

3.21

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is experiencing a big uptick in complaints that scammers pretending to be the FTC are calling, emailing, texting and faxing.

The scammers are claiming that either the targets have won a big prize or that they are in trouble and have to pay delinquent accounts.

In fact, the Department of Justice recently announced that two scammers impersonating the FTC were found guilty of bilking victims out of more than $10 million.

Know that the FTC does not contact consumers to ask for payment, and it does not run sweepstakes or lotteries. If you experience this scam, report it.

Be a fraud fighter!  If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam.
