Forward Your Spam to FTC
August 3, 2009 | Practice Tip Of The Week
I have been sent some ugly spam lately. You know, the kind from foreign countries or rich clients with enormous offers for performing very little legal work. My suggestion is that these e-mails be forwarded to the FTC (spam@uce.gov) who use the spam to find and stop fraudulent spammers. They also want to receive any spam related to weight-loss, pyramid schemes, or credit repair, etc., if they make false or misleading claims.
