Can you report someone for scamming you online?

Does filing a complaint with the FTC do anything?

The FTC cannot resolve individual complaints, but it can provide information about what steps to take. The FTC says that complaints can help it and its law enforcement partners detect patterns of fraud and abuse, which may lead to investigations and stopping unfair business practices.

Can the FTC get my money back?

Answer. Sometimes the FTC is able to get people all their money back. If that happens, the FTC gives as much money back to each buyer as possible. The exact amount will depend on how much the defendants are able to pay, how much the court orders for refunds, and how many people bought the product.

Does the FTC actually do anything?

First, the FTC does not open cases for individual consumer complaints. When the FTC acts, it is doing so on behalf of the general public. The FTC takes action when there are lots of complaints about a company. Second, the FTC does bring enforcement actions against companies based in part on consumer complaints.
