| Description: | The FTC announced a three-part program to crack down on deceptive schemes such as one that promised recipients "$46,000 or more in the next 90 days" if they sent $5 to a few individuals. [...] consumers have forwarded 8.3 million spam messages to the FTC's unsolicited commercial e-mail database. In a settlement that grew out of an FTC sting operation, seven defendants recently agreed to refund money and permanently refrain from similar solicitations. The FTC is also cooperating with state Internet service provider associations to launch an education effort. |
