Scammers are exploiting the FTC’s good name by promising phony sweepstakes prizes. The FTC investigates fraud and provides free consumer information. It never collects money directly from consumers. FTC staff is not involved with nor do they conduct sweepstakes or lottery contests. Scammers will impersonate actual FTC employees, but the FTC never gives awards or sweepstakes. The FTC does want you to know how to avoid being deceived by government imposters.
