The FTC joins the FCC in warning consumers of the one-ring scam. In this scam, consumers get a phone call from an unknown number, and the call stops after just one ring. The scammer is hoping consumers will call back, because it’s really an international toll number and will appear as a phone bill charge.
The FTC will be hosting its fourth annual PrivacyCon on June 27, 2019. For PrivacyCon 2019, the FTC is seeking research presentations on a wide range of consumer privacy and security issues, with a particular focus on the economics driving those issues.
