The Federal Trade Commission deals with issues that touch the economic life of every American. It is the only federal agency with both consumer protection and competition jurisdiction in broad sectors of the economy. The FTC pursues vigorous and effective law enforcement; advances consumers' interests by sharing its expertise with federal and state legislatures and U.S. and international government agencies; develops policy and research tools through hearings, workshops, and conferences; and creates practical and plain-language educational programs for consumers and businesses in a global marketplace with constantly changing technologies.

I can give you a whole lot of insight because I'm just still seeing their screw-ups and I'm like oh my account on lockdown because I'm getting five different pieces of mail coming from you from New Mexico and I could trail it from where the location to transmitted 396 postal service

Welcome . May you be well. We are a group of contractors and dealers with the SICO company. Our work has been suspended and we were not allowed to withdraw our money. They hacked the link to the work platform and we were not informed of any details. This is considered one of the methods of fraud and theft. We were trying to improve our living situation and therefore we did not get our own money. We ask you to sympathize with us because you are the ones who achieve human rights. Thank you
