The Federal Trade Commission is warning small
businesses that an email with a subject line “NOTIFICATION OF CONSUMER COMPLAINT” is not from the FTC. The email
falsely states that a complaint has been filed with the agency against their
company. The FTC advises recipients not to click on any of the links or
attachments with the email. Clicking on the links may install a virus or other
spyware on the computer.
The FTC’s advice: Delete the email. For more information
