Groups Support FTC’s Collaboration with Attorneys General

CFA joined several consumer groups in a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking for comment on its collaboration with state attorneys general. The letter highlights the need for collaboration early and often, particularly in the event of scams and payment fraud, to help bring relief to defrauded consumers. The letter recommends ways to improve information sharing, enforcement collaboration, complaint intake and sharing, and asks the FTC to create a payment fraud task force with state AG’s, the FTC and other agencies.
