FTC Chairman Is Not Trying To Contact You In Sonoma County

Press release from the Sonoma County Government:

October 20, 2020

If you received an email purporting to be from the FTC Chairman Joseph Simmons it was not from him. Scammers are pretending to be him in an attempt to obtain personal information. As frequently stated in our Consumer Alerts, do not provide personal information by phone or email. Instead call back the number for the agency that you have independently verified.
