Fresh Resources to Safeguard Consumers and Small Businesses Against Fraud

Consumers speak many languages and unfortunately scammers are conversant in all of them. That’s why the FTC has reinforced its fraud fighting capabilities by collecting scam reports in multiple languages. As a member of the business community, you can lend a hand by sharing these new resources with employees, friends, and others in your network.
