Consumer Groups Support the FTC’s Government Impersonation Scams Rule

CFA joined a group of consumer advocates supporting the FTC’s notice of proposed rulemaking to regulate the impersonation of government, businesses and their officials. These scams are widespread and extremely harmful, and many are facilitated through illegal robocalls. The groups’ comment encourages the FTC to adopt the rule proposal and encourage it to coordinate with other federal and state agencies to effectively solve these problems.
