Where to report work at home scams
If you have spent money and time on a work-at-home program and now believe the
program may not be legitimate, contact the company and ask for a refund. Let
company representatives know that you plan to notify officials about your
experience. If you can't resolve the dispute with the company, file a complaint
with these organizations:
- The Federal Trade Commission works for the
consumer to prevent fraud and deception. Call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357)
or log on to www.ftc.gov.
- The Attorney General's office in your state or
the state where the company is located. The office will be able to tell you
whether you're protected by any state law that may regulate work-at-home
programs.
- Your local consumer protection offices.
- Your local Better Business Bureau.
- Your local postmaster. The U.S. Postal Service
investigates fraudulent mail practices.
- The advertising manager of the publication
that ran the ad. The manager may be interested to learn about the problems
you've had with the company.
