One Year into COVID-19 Pandemic, New FTC Staff Report Highlights Agency's Ongoing Efforts to Protect Consumers

The Federal Trade Commission staff issued a report highlighting the agency's ongoing efforts to protect consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The report addresses challenges consumers face during the pandemic and details the Commission's strategy to combat COVID-related fraud and other consumer issues using sophisticated targeting, aggressive law enforcement, and ongoing partnership and outreach.
