Is it weird that I love the FTC? I sort of do =) I feel like so much of the US Government is not really looking out for all us little people, but at least the FTC is trying, although they may not always succeed. The FTC has a TON of good consumer info: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/index.shtml And for anyone who is policy nerd and like to read about Washington stuff, they even have things for you: http://www.ftc.gov/opp/index.shtml

Useless. This is all for show. Sending phone numbers to the DO Not Call registry, which they run, does nothing. Still unwanted phone calls. Have registered my phone numbers twice for m any years. When you send them info about a scam, they email you back a warning about the scam which you were trying to tell them about. Their newsletters glorify their exploits in shutting down a few scammy companies.
