If this is America… Don’t depend on the government for justice.
Some kid 50 years from now is going to write a paper on the moral dilemma of calling ICE on a scam center.
How recently did you learn not to trust the US government that you think it is news to anyone?
They’re asking where you report fraud.
The FTC is where you report fraud.
To be fair, Brandan Carr is who Trump has running the FCC. He is corrupt as fuck, he’s made some bonehead moves, and he drafted large parts of project 2025.
Results may vary if you’re reporting this to his FCC.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is not the same organization as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Andrew Ferguson, chair of the FTC, was originally appointed to the Commission by Biden in 2023 and was made chair by Trump this year. He’s definitely softer on big corporate monopolies and mergers than his predecessor, but has not been quite as much a blowhard as one would normally expect from Trump’s picks.
You’re right. I’m an idiot.
We all make mistakes, at least you can admit you’re wrong. Also, don’t call yourself an idiot. You’re not.
Comments like this is why I love Lemmy.
Lol honestly I had to search it to make sure they were actually distinct, especially since the venn diagram between them definitely has a large shared space in regards to regulating tech companies
They said the federal trade commission, not the FCC. This guy is the chair

To be a catty bitch: oh no shit?
The comments by Americans recently recognizing their shitty government and issuing sincere warnings to people who have been aware of the American peril for decades reminds me of student drivers earnestly explaining how important turn signals are to their driving instructors.
Wait, what?
What’s up?
OP will warn them, and they’ll end up charging him with the crime.
Yeah, specially if it’s his WiFi they are using.
Even if they do end up busting the scammers, OP can expect being harassed and have some of his stuff confiscated for investigation.
Not right now anyway. But if it’s a small operation with poor or brown people the they will take care of it.
