Have you gotten an email with the subject line “Pending
consumer complaint” that looks like it came from the FTC? The email warns
that a complaint against you has been filed with the FTC. It asks you to
click on a link or attachment for more information or to contact the FTC.
These emails pull out all the stops to look official: They
have an FTC seal, references to the “Consumer Credit Protection Act
(CCPA)” and a “formal investigation,” and what look like real FTC links.
The truth is that they’re fakes.
